Cochrane Reviews are systematic reviews of primary research in human health care and health policy, and are internationally recognised as the highest standard in evidence-based health care resources.

The reviews investigate the effects of interventions for prevention, treatment and rehabilitation, and also assess the accuracy of a diagnostic test for a given condition in a specific patient group and setting. They are published online in the Cochrane Library.

The Cochrane midwifery-related summaries are collated regularly and are available below.
