Systematic Reviews to Support Evidence-Based Medicine: How to Review and Apply Findings of Healthcare Research

This title offers guidance on the interpretation and practical application of systematic reviews. It is aimed at health professionals, who, for a number of reasons, may decide to appraise and undertake reviews. They may wish to further their own personal professional development, use the results of systematic reviews and EBM to inform their own clinical decision-making, or they may just require a clearer understanding of reviews to help them write and present information with an evidence-based component (such as an article in a peer-reviewed journal, a research thesis, or a conference presentation).
