  1. Presentation objectives • Provide an overview of Cochrane Collaboration • Demonstrate The Cochrane Library • Invite participation

  2. Cochrane Collaboration • An international organisation that aims to help people make well-informed decisions about healthcare by preparing, maintaining and promoting the accessibility of systematic reviews of the effects of health care interventions.

  3. Archie Cochrane “It is surely a great criticism of our profession that we have not organised a critical summary, by specialty or subspecialty, adapted periodically, of all relevant randomised controlled trials.”

  4. THE COCHRANECOLLABORATION

  5. Principles • Collaboration • Building on the enthusiasm of individuals • Avoiding duplication • Minimising bias

  6. Principles • Keeping up to date • Striving for relevance • Promoting access • Ensuring quality • Continuity

  7. Cochrane Collaboration goals • To ensure high quality, up-to-date systematic reviews are available across a broad range of health care topics • To promote access to Cochrane reviews

  8. Cochrane Collaboration goals • To develop an efficient, transparent organisational structure and management system for the Cochrane Collaboration • To achieve sustainability of the Cochrane Collaboration

  9. Systematic review Systematic review Systematic review • Structured process involving several steps: • Well formulated question • Comprehensive data search • Unbiased selection and abstraction process • Critical appraisal of data • Synthesis of data
