All about reviews of clinical effectiveness research
Introduction
Information on conditions and treatments from the world's largest medical library. Find out what works.
PubMed Health specializes in reviews of clinical effectiveness research, with easy-to-read summaries for consumers as well as full technical reports. Clinical effectiveness research finds answers to the question “What works?” in medical and health care.
PubMed Health is a service provided by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) at the U.S. National Library of Medicine (NLM). The NLM is the world's largest medical library.
There are around 25,000 systematic reviews in PubMed Health, and more are added every week. A search on PubMed Health runs simultaneously in PubMed. A filter is used to identify all the indexed scientific articles at the NLM that might be systematic reviews.We gather free full text resources on understanding clinical effectiveness research and making health choices here on PubMed Health.
On G+ we will highlight selected systematic reviews, analyses of the science behind stories making headlines and new resources at PubMed Health. We're also on Twitter: @PubMedHealth.
