Cochrane Library
A comprehensive database of systematic reviews in healthcare
Overview
The Cochrane Library is a collection of high-quality, independent evidence to inform healthcare decision-making. It includes a database of systematic reviews and other resources that are essential for healthcare professionals, researchers, and policy makers. The library is produced by Cochrane, an international network of researchers, professionals, patients, and people interested in health.
Components
The Cochrane Library consists of several databases:
Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews (CDSR)
The CDSR is the leading resource for systematic reviews in health care. It contains peer-reviewed systematic reviews and protocols prepared by Cochrane Review Groups. These reviews are updated regularly to incorporate new research findings.
Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL)
CENTRAL is a highly comprehensive source of reports of randomized and quasi-randomized controlled trials. It is a valuable resource for identifying clinical trials that are relevant to systematic reviews.
Cochrane Clinical Answers
Cochrane Clinical Answers provide a readable, digestible, clinically-focused entry point to rigorous research from Cochrane Reviews. They are designed to be actionable and to support decision-making at the point of care.
Other Databases
The Cochrane Library also includes other databases such as the Database of Abstracts of Reviews of Effects (DARE), the Health Technology Assessment Database, and the NHS Economic Evaluation Database.
Access and Usage
The Cochrane Library is available online and can be accessed through institutional subscriptions or individual access. Many countries provide free access to the Cochrane Library for their residents, recognizing its importance in improving healthcare outcomes.
Impact on Healthcare
The Cochrane Library plays a crucial role in evidence-based medicine by providing reliable and up-to-date information. It helps healthcare professionals make informed decisions, supports policy-making, and guides research priorities.
