The Cochrane Reviews are systematic assessments of evidence of the effects of healthcare interventions.

They explore the evidence for and against the effectiveness and appropriateness of treatments (medications, surgery, education, etc) in specific circumstances. Cochrane Review Groups focus on particular health topics such as breast cancer or tobacco addiction to create a systematic review. A systematic review uses a predefined, explicit methodology to identify and bring together all relevant studies on a particular healthcare intervention. Steps are taken to minimize bias when identifying relevant studies, selecting studies for inclusion in a review, and collecting and combining data from relevant studies. The full-text of the reviews, with updates, are published quarterly. may 8/22/07
