International Links - Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews
Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews
A rapidly growing collection of regularly updated, systematic reviews of the effects of health care, maintained by contributors to the Cochrane Collaboration. New reviews are added with each issue of The Cochrane Library. Cochrane reviews are reviews mainly of randomized controlled trials. Evidence is included or excluded on the basis of explicit quality criteria to minimize bias. Data are often combined statistically, with metaanalysis, to increase the power of the findings of numerous studies each too small to produce reliable results individually. Although the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews is available on subscription only, the Abstracts of Cochrane Reviews are available without charge and can be browsed or searched.
Cochrane Library
The Cochrane Library is a quarterly updated electronic database containing systematic reviews and other information that will assist in making diagnostic, treatment and other health care decisions. It is the most comprehensive source of references for those with an interest in evidence-based health care. The Cochrane Library consists of four main databases: The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, The Database of Abstracts of Reviews of Effectiveness, The Cochrane Controlled Trials Register and The Cochrane Review Methodology Database.

Medical SmartSearch
Medical SmartSearch is a single gateway that attempts to provide references to answer Clinical questions around diagnosis, aetiology, prognosis and therapy (plus physical Findings, adverse treatment effects and screening/prevention) by searching only high quality sources. Smartsearch always searches:
- Merck Manual.
- MEDLINE for review articles and editorials that have full texts available.
- National Guideline Clearinghouse from the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research (AHCPR)
- Database of Abstract of Reviews of Effectiveness (DARE)
- MEDLINE for original research.
Depending of the focus requested SmartSearch would search PubMed with the highest sensitivity filters developed by Haynes et al.

PEDro - Physiotherapy Evidence Database
PEDro, an initiative of the Centre for Evidence-Based Physiotherapy (CEBP). PEDro is the Physiotherapy Evidence Database. It has been developed to give physiotherapists and others rapid access to bibliographic details and abstracts of randomised controlled trials in physiotherapy. Most trials on the database have been rated for quality to help to quickly discriminate between trials, which are likely to be valid and interpretable, and those, which are not.
