Systematic Reviews
The search filter used by
SIGN to retrieve systematic reviews is an adaptation
of the systematic reviews filter designed by the Health
Information Research Unit of the McMaster University,
Ontario. The systematic reviews filter emphasises
specificity rather than sensitivity.
Randomised Controlled Trials
The search filter used by SIGN to
retrieve randomised controlled trials has been adapted
from the first two sections of strategy designed by the
Cochrane Collaboration identifying RCTs for systematic
review.
Observational Studies
The Observational Studies search filter
used by SIGN has been developed in-house to retrieve
studies most likely to meet SIGN's methodological
critieria.
Diagnostic Studies
The Diagnostic Studies search filter
used by SIGN has been adapted from the filter designed
by the Health Information Research Unit of the McMaster
University, Ontario.
Economic Studies
The economic studies filter used by
SIGN is an adaptation of the strategy designed by the
NHS Centre for Reviews and Dissemination at the
University of York.

Adverse Effects:
Our systematic review and randomised
controlled trial search strategies are heavily based on
strategies developed by Brian Haynes and Anne McKibbon
at McMaster University in Canada, and strategies
developed by Carol Lefebvre et al at the UK Cochrane
Centre. The observational study and adverse effects
search strategies have been designed in-house by BMJ
Knowledge information specialists to retrieve studies
most likely to meet our methodological criteria.
