	Cochrane Collaboration - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cochrane's suggestion that the methods used to prepare and maintain reviews of controlled trials in pregnancy and childbirth should be applied more widely was taken up by the Research and Development Programme, initiated to support the United Kingdom's National Health Service.
		Funds were provided to establish a 'Cochrane Centre', to collaborate with others, in the UK and elsewhere, to facilitate systematic reviews of randomized controlled trials across all areas of health care.
		The Cochrane Collaboration, founded in 1993, is the name of a group of over 6,000 specialists in health care who review biomedical trials and results of other research.

	Cochrane Collaboration - the Cochrane logo (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		In addition, because of The Cochrane Collaboration's prolonged use of both the symbol and the name, we can exercise some control over their use and can probably stop people from using the symbol or the words on their own to imply an association with The Cochrane Collaboration, when such an association does not exist.
		Members of Cochrane entities who wish to put the logo on any of their work that relates to activity within the Cochrane Collaboration, must seek permission in advance from their Cochrane entity or the Cochrane Collaboration Secretariat.
		Cochrane entities or members of entities who wish to use the logo or symbol for material that does not relate directly to activity within the Cochrane Collaboration must obtain permission in advance from the PPG.

		The Campbell Collaboration and the Cochrane Collaboration are parallel organisations committed to summarising and providing evidence on the effects of interventions using systematic review methods.
		Cochrane focuses on reviews of the effects of health care interventions, whilst Campbell focuses on reviews of studies on the effects of social and educational policies and practices.
		Cochrane reviewers are finding that more trials now include an economic component, and there is an increasing need for guidance about judging the quality of economic evaluation, reporting the outcomes and summarising the results.

	Overview of the Cochrane Collaboration (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		The Cochrane Collaboration is an international network of individuals and institutions committed to preparing, maintaining, and disseminating systematic reviews of the effects of health care.
		International collaboration has also led to the preparation of systematic reviews of all of the RCTs relevant to the care of women during pregnancy and childbirth,[19] and of newborn infants[20].
		The characteristics of each Cochrane centre reflect the interests of the individuals associated with it and the resources made available to them; but the centres share a responsibility for helping to coordinate and support the other elements of the Cochrane Collaboration, and for exploring ways in which the Collaboration can be developed.

	WorldChanging: Another World Is Here: The Cochrane Collaboration: Distributed Evidence Analysis
		The Cochrane Collaboration is a worldwide initiative to make sense of the huge mass of clinical studies available.
		The Cochrane Collaboration is supported by hundreds of organisations from around the world, including health service providers, research funding agencies, departments of health, international organisations and universities.
		There is now a Campbell Collaboration: "...a non-profit organization that aims to help people make well-informed decisions about the effects of interventions in the social, behavioral and educational arenas." If these collaborations successfully adapt as they approach more politicized areas, they could be models for evidence-based policy making in the future.

	The Cochrane Collaboration: for family physician researchers
		The Canadian Centre of the Cochrane Collaboration became the second Centre when it was registered in August 1993 and has since been hosted by McMaster University in Hamilton, Ont. The Canadian Cochrane Network was established in 1995 with 16 site representatives at each of the academic health sciences centres across Canada.
		This is very difficult to achieve, but the Cochrane Collaboration works to a set of principles aimed at achieving equality for members and equal access to the knowledge.
		For example, in association with the Campbell Collaboration (which is a sibling organization for interventions relating to criminology, social policy, and education), members of the Cochrane Musculoskeletal Group are working with reviewers who have a broader view of social sciences and law.

		The Collaboration is a network of individuals, and its objectives are to prepare, maintain and disseminate systematic reviews of the effects of health care.
		Each Cochrane reviewer is a member of a Collaborative Review Group (CRG), which consists of people who share an interest in a particular topic (for example, stroke, diabetes, incontinence, or oral health).

		The Cochrane Collaboration, an international not-for-profit organization that prepares, maintains, and disseminates systematic reviews of the effects of health care, is at the forefront of promoting EBM.
		Cochrane Library contents are compiled through the activities of six key structures that comprise the Cochrane Collaboration: Cochrane Centers, Fields, the Consumer Network, Methods Groups, the Steering Group, and Collaborative Review Groups (CRGs).
		Fields are Cochrane groupings that focus on dimensions of health care other than health problems, such as the setting of care (e.g., primary care), the type of consumer (e.g., older people), the type of provider (e.g., nurses) or the type of intervention (e.g., physical therapies).

		If Cochrane Reviews are to be useful to those who want to take more informed decisions in health care and research, then they must be trustworthy, and transparently so.
		The 'gold standard' will continue to be represented by systematic reviews, conducted under the aegis of collaborative trialists' groups, that are based on individual patient data for all patients entered into all of the trials meeting the entry criteria for the review.

		There were 19 review groups formally registered with the Collaboration by the end of last year (one with 10 sub-groups), as well as two fields.
		One of the tasks undertaken by the Collaboration is searching the medical literature to identify randomised controlled trials (RCTs).
		The Cochrane Centre in Baltimore (USA) coordinates this activity, and perhaps the most important aspect is that identified RCTs are notified to the National Library of Medicine so that they can be tagged as RCTs in MEDLINE.
