Database: Evidence Based Medicine (EBM) Reviews from OVID

Description: The Evidence Based Medicine (EBM) Reviews databases from OVID report definitive study results providing recent information on the diagnosis and treatment of a wide variety of medical conditions. They analyze and synthesize the best clinical trials on a subject. EBM helps clinicians to find the best answer to clinical questions in the least amount of time.

Clinical Evidence:

Clinical Evidence is produced by the BMJ Publishing Group and is frequently updated. It provides a concise account of the current state of knowledge, ignorance, and uncertainty about the prevention and treatment of a wide range of clinical conditions based on thorough searches and appraisal of the literature. In other words, it contains a compendium of evidence on the effects of common clinical interventions.
