This week was the official launch of ‘Living Evidence’, an international project where Epistemonikos Foundation holds a key role. The project aims to train different European organisations that work on evidence synthesis to support health decision-making, in using tools and methodologies that will allow them to keep those reviews always updated. The initiative includes…
A few weeks ago, the prestigious JAMA Network Journal published an observational comparative study of systematic reviews that revealed the enormous overproduction of evidence on COVID-19, as well as the duplicity of subjects in research and the great problem that this has brought when trying to ensure exhaustivity in evidence synthesis, using traditional synthesis methods.…
A scientific article recently published on the JAMA Network Open scientific journal revealed that the L·OVE Platform was able to identify more primary studies on imaging findings in children with COVID-19 than any of the systematic reviews identified for the same subject. The study, elaborated by MD Giordano Pérez-Gaxiola and MD Iván Flores, was…
Since it was launched in 2009, Epistemonikos Database has become the world’s largest repository of systematic reviews relevant for health decision-making.
