abstract: This practical guide to performing systematic reviews in a healthcare context provides a step-by-step approach for students and health professionals. Using free, opensource software to extract data and perform the necessary meta-analyses, this guide navigates the process of reviews, from study design and randomised controlled trials to interpreting results and reporting your findings.

Each chapter includes an overview, learning outcomes and practice questions. Aimed particularly at those who do not have an extensive statistical background, it will help enable you to confidently perform high quality systematic reviews.
