CCE Evidence Reviews

Current (2005 - 2008).  This page holds pdf files of all current CCE Evidence Reviews.

Archived (1998 - 2004).  This page links to archived CCE Evidence Reviews. These reviews are not current and have been archived because it is likely that more recent evidence exists that might change the conclusions of the reviews. These reviews should not be used to support clinical decision-making without new searches being undertaken to identify more recently published evidence. The reviews may be of value to researchers conducting systematic reviews who can update them by rerunning the searches forward from the search date.
