- Summary:
- "Medical practice, clinical practice guidelines, health care policies, research agendas, and insurance coverage decisions are increasingly informed by evidence from clinical trials and other research of the benefits, harms, and comparisons of treatments, tests, and procedures. Systematic reviews provide a scientific approach to collecting and synthesizing biomedical information to answer questions that are essential to developing these practices and policies. Systematic reviews are a requirement for developing trustworthy clinical practice guidelines.1 They are a core component of established processes for guideline development by governmental groups and professional societies, including the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF)2 and the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) in the United Kingdom,3 for example. Basing health decisions on scientific evidence sets a higher benchmark for patient care than those lacking this approach"--
