The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews is one of the most popular databases in the Cochrane Library. It evaluates individual clinical trials and condenses systematic reviews from more than 100 medical journals. The database provides an efficient method of interpreting the results of many studies. HealthStar includes published literature from journals, book chapters, and government documents on clinical and nonclinical aspects of health care delivery. Medline is the largest biomedical research literature database (more than 10 million references) for general information. Medline compiles information from Index Medicus, Index to Dental Literature, and International Nursing Index. InfoPOEMs (Patient-Oriented Evidence that Matters) is a clinical awareness system that allows health care practitioners to access the most current, concrete medical information available.
