| Description |
EBMR, a definitive resource in evidence based medicine, combines 4 of the most trusted EBM resources into one database:
- Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews - consists of groups of experts in over 40 clinical specialties who authoritatively review hundreds of studies on topics in their specialty.
- The Database of Abstracts of Reviews of Effectiveness (DARE) - provides access to selected systematic reviews on the effectiveness of clinical interventions and policies from databases such as MEDLINE and through manual review of the primary literature.
- ACP Journal Club - The editors of ACP Journal Club screen the top clinical journals on a regular basis and identify studies that are both methodologically sound and clinically relevant. Enhanced abstracts of the chosen articles are then written, including commentaries on the applicability of these studies to clinical practice.
- The Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials - This bibliographic database of definitive controlled trials was created as part of an international effort to create an unbiased source of data for systematic reviews. It consists of over 350,000 bibliographic references to controlled trials in health care, and imposes quality control standards on included references to ensure that only reports of definite randomized controlled trials or controlled clinical trials are included.
