Systematic Reviews in Health Care: A Practical Guide

Systematic Reviews in Health Care: A Practical Guide Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The past two decades have seen increasing interest and developments in methods for doing high quality systematic reviews. This volume provides a clear introduction to the concepts of systematic reviews, and lucidly describes the difficulties and traps to avoid. A unique feature of the manual is its description of the different methods needed for different types of health care questions: frequency of disease, prognosis, diagnosis, risk, and management. This book also provides illustrative examples and exercises for each of the sections.

Book News Annotation:

The selection of any two different studies related to a specific question can lead to conflicting answers. But a systematic review and synthesis of all the available studies can sometimes lead to a clearer understanding of the question in answer and, hopefully, a more correct answer. Drawing substantially on material originally published as an Australian National Health and Medical Research Council guide titled , the authors of this guide explain the main considerations and methodologies of conducting systemic reviews of medical studies.
