SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEWS OF MEDICAL DEVICES
SUMMARY : WHAT HAS BEEN COVERED
Search using Subheadings
• Four new subheadings for medical devices added in 2014
• Disease subheading ‘complication’ available for older records
• Additional results are retrieved using Emtree terms / keywords
Medical Devices on Embase
• More medical device terminology, now with over 3,000 terms
• Device trade names in Emtree, now with over 1,000 synonyms
• Device Search / Search filters for easy access to the most relevant information
Systematic Reviews
• Search for systematic reviews using EBM limits and index terms
• Search for primary studies using PICO to identify relevant studies
• Diagnostic tests: identify key results using ‘diagnostic test accuracy study’
