Cochrane Collaboration: Evidence Based Medicine

The Cochrane Collaboration is an independent, international, not-for-profit organization, and is one of the most respected leaders in evidence based medicine. Their contributors work together to produce systematic assessments of healthcare interventions, known as Cochrane Reviews, which are published online in The Cochrane Library. Cochrane Reviews are intended to help providers, practitioners and patients make informed decisions about health care, with comprehensive, reliable and relevant source of evidence on which to base these decisions.

Summaries of Cochrane Reviews are available free online. If you want to read a full Cochrane Review, this is only available via the publisher.

One entity affiliated with the Cochrane Collaboration, the Cochrane Primary Health Care Field, includes a list of Pearls(Practical Evidence About Real Life Situations), highlighting Cochrane Reviews of interest to Primary Care. This site hasn't been moved to CC's new site yet, so the reviews stop in 2009, unfortunately.
