Research is conducted at different levels: primary research consists of original studies while secondary research comprises qualitative reviews, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses. Recently, a novel further level of research has been introduced, based on the analysis and pooling of reviews and meta-analysis. This book is the first to focus solely on this new type of research design, which permits a comprehensive and powerful synthesis of scientific evidence in medicine as well as in many other fields in order to inform decision-making. All aspects are covered, including review design and registration, the searching, abstracting, appraisal, and synthesis of evidence, the appraisal of moderators and confounders, and state of the art reporting. Case studies in a range of medical specialties are then presented. The hands-on approach of the book, written by a multinational team of experts, will enable the reader to interpret and independently conduct umbrella reviews. 000753677 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed February 15, 2016). 000753677 650_0 $$aSystematic reviews (Medical research) 000753677 650_0 $$aEvidence-based medicine. 000753677 7001_ $$aBiondi-Zoccai, Giuseppe,$$eeditor. 000753677 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9783319256535 000753677 852__ $$bebk 000753677 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-25655-9$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000753677 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:753677$$pGLOBAL_SET 000753677 980__ $$aEBOOK 000753677 980__ $$aBIB 000753677 982__ $$aEbook 000753677 983__ $$aOnline 000753677 994__ $$a92$$bISE
