The Cochrane Library is a collection of databases that contain high-quality, independent evidence to inform healthcare decision-making, including Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), and Cochrane Clinical Answers. Cochrane is a key resource for accessing high quality reviews and performing review studies. Reviews published in the Cochrane database must follow a strict protocol dictated by the Cochrane Group, and many Cochrane reviews are living, meaning that they are continually updated over time to incorporate and reflect new findings.
