Cochrane Collaboration

Cochrane is a British international charitable organisation formed to synthesize medical research findings to facilitate evidence-based choices about health interventions involving health professionals, patients and policy makers.[3][4] It includes 53 review groups that are based at research institutions worldwide. Cochrane has approximately 30,000 volunteer experts from around the world.[5]

The group conducts systematic reviews of healthcare interventions and diagnostic tests and publishes them in the Cochrane Library.[6][3] According to the Library, articles are available via one-click access, but some require paid subscription or registration before reading.[7][8] A few reviews, in occupational health for example, incorporate results from non-randomised observational studies[6] as well as controlled before–after (CBA) studies and interrupted time-series studies.[9]
