The revised edition of the Handbook offers the only guide on how to conduct, report and maintain a Cochrane Review
The second edition of The Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions
contains essential guidance for preparing and maintaining Cochrane
Reviews of the effects of health interventions. Designed to be an
accessible resource, the Handbook will also be of interest to anyone
undertaking systematic reviews of interventions outside Cochrane, and
many of the principles and methods presented are appropriate for
systematic reviews addressing research questions other than effects of
interventions.
This fully updated edition contains extensive new
material on systematic review methods addressing a wide-range of topics
including network meta-analysis, equity, complex interventions,
narrative synthesis, and automation. Also new to this edition,
integrated throughout the Handbook, is the set of standards Cochrane
expects its reviews to meet.
Written for review authors, editors, trainers and others with an interest in Cochrane Reviews, the second edition of The Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions
continues to offer an invaluable resource for understanding the role of
systematic reviews, critically appraising health research studies and
conducting reviews.
