Cochrane Library and Cochrane Reviews

The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews (CDSR) is the leading resource for systematic reviews in health care. The CDSR is updated regularly as Cochrane Reviews are published ‘when ready’. The Cochrane editorial process follows a consistent and structured path. It is unique in two ways:

1. CRGs monitor the process of review development throughout the editorial life cycle, beginning with registration of a title, through preparation and publication of the protocol and completed review;
2. Cochrane Reviews are updated to take account of emerging evidence, to provide the best and most current evidence to guide decision-making.

There is additional local support available in Australia and New Zealand for people undertaking their own Cochrane reviews in the perinatal area:

The Australian and New Zealand Cochrane Pregnancy and Childbirth Group satellite, based in Adelaide

The Australian Cochrane Neonatal satellite, based in Sydney
