Systematic reviews and commentaries
Systematic reviews are a good source of independent evidence to inform healthcare decision-making.
A systematic review attempts to identify, appraise and synthesize all the empirical evidence that meets pre-specified eligibility criteria to answer a specific research question. Researchers conducting systematic reviews use explicit, systematic methods that are selected to minimise bias to produce more reliable findings to inform decision-making.
