What do we do if different studies appear to give different answers?
When applying research to questions for individual patients or for
health policy, one of the challenges is interpreting such apparently
conflicting research. A systematic review is a method to
systematically identify relevant research, appraise its quality, and
synthesize the results. The last two decades have seen increasing
interest and developments in methods for doing high quality systematic
reviews. Part I of this book provides a clear introduction to the
concepts of reviewing, and lucidly describes the difficulties and
traps to avoid. A unique feature of the book is its description, in
Part II, of the different methods needed for different types of health
care questions: frequency of disease, prognosis, diagnosis, risk, and
management. As well as illustrative examples, there are exercises for
each of the sections. This is essential reading for those interested
in synthesizing health care research.
