The aim of this international Collaboration is to prepare and disseminate evidence-based, regularly updated reviews of the effects of therapies in all fields of medicine. The Neonatal RG consists of over 70 reviewers in over 10 countries. We prepare systematic reviews of randomized trials of treatment for neonatal diseases or problems. These reviews follow a standard method that includes a well formulated question, a comprehensive search for eligible trials, critical appraisal of trial quality and, where appropriate, quantitative synthesis of the results using meta-analysis. To date 59 such reviews have been completed, along with 26 protocols for reviews in preparation.
Reviews are regularly updated as new trials are published.
These Cochrane systematic reviews are published in the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews which is contained in the Cochrane Library . Dr. Roger Soll University of Vermont Department of Pediatrics A121 Medical Alumni Bldg.
