1 A step by step Guide to Searching the Cochrane database
2 KnowledgeNet
3 By the end of this presentation you will be able to: Run a simple search on the Cochrane Library using both free text and MeSH searching Work your way around a systematic review on the Cochrane Library Understand Boolean operators and truncation
4 Background The Cochrane Library is the premier resource for information on the effectiveness of healthcare interventions. It is a collection of information put together by the Cochrane Collaboration, the Centre for Reviews and Dissemination and others. It is updated quarterly.
5 What is the Cochrane Library? A source of best evidence on effective treatments A source of systematic reviews A resource to support evidence based healthcare
6 The Cochrane Library The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews - Full text of systematic reviews published by the Cochrane Collaboration. Each review is updated at least every two years. Database of Abstracts of Reviews of Effects (DARE) - Summaries of systematic reviews from elsewhere in the literature (i.e. that are not Cochrane reviews). Central Register of Controlled Trials Bibliographic references to randomised controlled trials. Not critically appraised. Database of Methodology Reviews Contains full-text systematic reviews of methodological studies. Methodology Register A bibliography of publications which report on methods used in the conduct of controlled trials. Health Technology Assessment Database Details of projects and completed publications from health technology assessment organisations. NHS Economic Evaluation Database Structured abstracts describing economic evaluations of health care interventions. Papers are included if they provide a comparison of treatments and examine both the costs and outcomes of the alternatives.
7 When would you search the Cochrane Library? what is the effective treatment of y what is the effective treatment of y in condition x is treatment y better than treatment z
8 When NOT to use the Cochrane Library General health care information: prognosis, causal, epidemiology... Statistics: incidence and prevalence Needs assessment studies
9 Hierarchy of evidence STRONG Systematic Reviews Randomised Control Trials Cohort Studies Case-Control Studies Cross Sectional Surveys WEAK Case Studies
10 Worked example: will hypnotherapy help people to give up smoking? Remember: Focus your search question (think of the key terms treatment & disease) Use synonyms if necessary (think of similar terms to represent a concept) Use truncation if appropriate For example: hypno* will search for: hypnotherapy, hypnotherapist, hypnosis
11 You can search by various different ways: Basic Search Advanced Search MeSH terms Search by Topic New Reviews Updated Reviews A-Z By Review Group
12
13 Type hypno* in the search area Click on the Go button
14 Results of search for hypno*
15 Type next terms smoking cessation into the search area Click to search
16 Next select the Search History button (this displays previous searches) Results of search for smoking cessation
17 To combine the searches type #1 and #2 in the search box, then click on Go
18 To view the results of the combined search, click on the link
19 Results
20 Click on the tabs to move to a specific part of the review Use PDF link to print or save
21 Type in your different search terms in separate boxes and choose where you want them to appear, e.g. title, author etc then click on Search.
22 Search by Topic
23
24 MeSH Use the Search History button to get back to the main search page
25 Select the MeSH button
26 Type a single term in the search box Then select the Thesaurus button
27 Select the relevant MeSH term
28 2. Then view results or go to search history 1. Choose Explode or Search this term only?
29 Search this Term Only Use Search This Term Only if you wish to limit your search to those documents in which your subject heading is considered the major point or focus of the article. but If a record was to have a narrower term added, but not your term, then it would not retrieve it.
30 Explode If you choose Explode you will retrieve citations using the selected term and all of its more specific terms e.g. If you enter back pain and explode the term you will also retrieve those records which use the term low back pain
31 Select the Search History button to continue your search
32 Choose MeSH Search again and type the next term in the search field. Select the Thesaurus button Select the most appropriate MeSH heading from the list.
33 This time leave the default option to Explode then View Results on next page click on Search History as before.
34 Combine searches together and click on link for results as before
35 To sum up: The Cochrane Library is helpful in answering very specific types of questions about effectiveness of interventions Vague effectiveness questions need to be reformulated to focus in on the treatment and disease Many questions are better answered by using more appropriate databases because the questions are not effectiveness questions
36 Glossary Review: is an attempt to synthesise the results & conclusions of 2 or more publications on a given topic. Systematic Review: is a review that strives comprehensively to identify and synthesise all the literature on a given topic (sometimes called an overview). Meta-analysis: a statistical technique for assembling the results of several studies in a review into a single numeric estimate.
37 Systematic reviews are... an increasingly important source of evidence about the effects of health care because: They help decision makers to cope with the volume of of literature by summarising it. They provide new information which may not be apparent from individual studies where the effects under investigation are small.
