  3. The Cochrane Collaboration “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 randomized controlled trials”. Archie Cochrane, 1979

  4. The Cochrane Collaboration The Cochrane Collaboration is an international organization that aims to help people make well-informed decisions about health care by preparing, maintaining, and promoting the accessibility of systematic reviews of the effects of healthcare interventions. ie synthesising healthcare evidence (since 1993)

  5. The Cochrane Library Issue 3, 2004 Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews Full text systematic reviews - ongoing and completed (currently 3,559 reviews and protocols) Database of Abstracts of Reviews of Effects Assessments of reviews (currently 4,795 abstracts of non-Cochrane reviews) Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials Bibliographic references of reports of trials (currently 415,918 citations of trials) Cochrane Database of Methodology Reviews Systematic reviews of methodology issues (currently 18 reviews and protocols) The Cochrane Methodology Register References to methodology studies (currently 5,668 theory and methods related citations)

Vitamin D and vitamin D analogues for preventing fractures associated with involutional and post-menopausal osteoporosis. The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews 2001, Issue 1. This version first published online: 22 January 2001 in Issue 1, 2001. A B S T R A C T Background Due to their known effects on bone metabolism, vitamin D and related compounds have been proposed for the prevention of osteoporosis and fractures. Objectives To determine the effects of supplementation with Vitamin D or a Vitamin D analogue in the prevention of fractures of the axial and appendicular skeleton in elderly men or women with involutional or post-menopausal osteoporosis.

  10. The Steering Group is supported by the Secretariat Claire Allen Deputy Administrator Jini Hetherington Administrator and Company Secretary Nick Royle Chief Executive Officer Louise Kitchener Administrative Assistant

  11. Collaborative Review Groups Review Groups are composed of persons from around the world who share an interest in developing and maintaining systematic reviews relevant to a particular health area. • coordinated by an editorial team who edit and assemble completed reviews into modules for inclusion in The Cochrane Library.

  12. Acute Respiratory Infections Group Airways Anaesthesia Back Breast Cancer Colorectal Cancer Consumers and Communication Dementia and Cognitive Improvement Depression, Anxiety and Neurosis Developmental, Psychosocial and Learning Problems Drugs and Alcohol Ear, Nose and Throat Disorders Effective Practice and Organisation of Care Epilepsy Eyes and Vision Fertility Regulation Gynaecological Cancer Haematological MalignanciesHeart Hepato-Biliary HIV/AIDSHypertensionIncontinence Infectious Diseases Inflammatory Bowel Disease Injuries Lung Cancer Menstrual Disorders and Subfertility Metabolic and Endocrine Disorders Methodology Movement Disorders Multiple Sclerosis Musculoskeletal Musculoskeletal Injuries Neonatal Neuromuscular Disease Oral Health Pain, Palliative and Supportive Care Peripheral Vascular Diseases Pregnancy and Childbirth Prostatic and Urologic CancersRenal Schizophrenia Sexually Transmitted DiseasesSkin Stroke Tobacco Addiction Upper Gastrointestinal & Pancreatic Diseases Wounds Collaborative Review Groups (50)

  13. The Cochrane Collaboration • There should be a clear barrier between the production of Cochrane reviews and any funding from commercial sources with financial interests in the conclusions of Cochrane reviews. • Thus, sponsorship of a Cochrane review by any commercial source or sources (as defined above) is prohibited.Policy on Commercial Sponsorship

  14. Fields and Networks (12) • areas of interest which extend across a number of health problems/specific population • ensure that their priorities are reflected in the work of existing CRGs • compile specialized databases to serve their specific needs • Cancer NetworkChild Health Complementary Medicine Consumer NetworkHealth Care of Older People Health Promotion and Public HealthNeurological NetworkOccupational Health Pre-hospital and Emergency Health Primary Health Care Rehabilitation and Related Therapies Vaccines from: http://www.cochrane.org

  17. The Consumer Network works to ensure that the consumer perspective is incorporated into Cochrane systematic reviews www.cochrane.org/consumers

  18. Cochrane Reviews in healthcare decision making “…a good systematic review of whatever evidence is available, even in highly uncertain situations, helps make the policymaking process more transparent and the political or commercial considerations more visible.” Moynihan R. Evaluating Health Services: A Reporter Covers the Science of Research Synthesis, Milbank Memorial Trust 2004;p31. and identifies context, research needs

  19. The Cochrane Collaboration The Guiding Principles • Collaboration • Building on enthusiasm of individuals • Avoiding duplication • Minimizing bias • Keeping up to date • Ensuring relevance • Ensuring access • Continuous quality improvement • Continuity • Enabling wide participation
