Systematic Reviews
The CTC undertakes systematic reviews and meta-analyses to
investigate important clinical questions and to assess new medical
devices, technology and tests.
Systematic reviews bring
together the results of all relevant, high-quality studies
(preferably randomised trials), published or unpublished,
addressing the same clinical question.
All reviews start with a protocol that defines
the elements of the research question:
- the patient population
- the intervention being
evaluated
- the intervention it is to be compared
with
- the outcome measures
- the methods to be used.
Our team at the CTC undertakes a wide variety of systematic
reviews (with the Cochrane Collaboration and other
collaborative groups) and research on the methods that support
such reviews.
