“Cochrane Collaboration is a leader in conducting scientific systematic reviews, and the contributors to this book are a group of acclaimed scientists from all over the world, making this is a unique publication in this field.” (Doody’s, 2009)

From the Back Cover

Healthcare providers, consumers, researchers and policy makers are inundated with unmanageable amounts of information, including evidence from healthcare research. It has become impossible for all to have the time and resources to find, appraise and interpret this evidence and incorporate it into healthcare decisions. Cochrane Reviews respond to this challenge by identifying, appraising and synthesizing research-based evidence and presenting it in a standardized format, published in The Cochrane Library (http://ift.tt/P2ykDV).

The Cochrane Handboook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions contains methodological guidance for the preparation and maintenance of Cochrane intervention reviews. Written in a clear and accessible format, it is the essential manual for all those preparing, maintaining and reading Cochrane reviews. Many of the principles and methods described here are appropriate for systematic reviews applied to other types of research and to systematic reviews of interventions undertaken by others. It is hoped therefore that this book will be invaluable to all those who want to understand the role of systematic reviews, critically appraise published reviews or perform reviews themselves.

This is the standard for meta-analyses. It is fairly thorough, just dull. That is the reason for the 3 stars. It is probably wrong to expect this to be something other than dull. Recent changes are available on the Cochrane web site.

An excellent reference for pharmaceutical/medical writers as well as researchers in medicine and public health, possibly along with a good text on meta-analysis.

The most up to dated book in the theme. Very important to people like me, that do not have time to frequent a formal course of epidemiology. I did the right choice.
