Abstract

Through the identification, critical appraisal and summary of evidence, systematic reviews play a pivotal role in making sense of the underlying evidence on which to base healthcare decisions. In this article we outline how to perform a Cochrane review, namely a systematic review produced with the support of the Cochrane Collaboration and published in The Cochrane Library. As well as describing the basic principles and methodology of doing a Cochrane review, we identify some of the challenges involved and highlight some issues of more specific relevance to reviews in anaesthesia.
