Best BETs - Best Evidence Topics
BETs were developed in the Emergency Department of Manchester Royal Infirmary, UK, to provide rapid evidence-based answers to real-life clinical questions, using a systematic approach to reviewing the literature. BETs take into account the shortcomings of much current evidence, allowing physicians to make the best of what there is. Although BETs initially had an emergency medicine focus, there are a significant number of BETs covering cardiothoracics, nursing, primary care and paediatrics.

Evidence Matters
The "Basic Free Version" allows clinicians to compare therapies for their patients based on peer-reviewed medical research. Provides answers to clinical questions from a simple "ask-a-question" interface, with results organised into summary graphs or tables, based on therapy effectiveness, safety and cost. Evidence Matters currently covers cardiology, endocrinology, gastroenterology, gynaecology, neurology, oncology, orthopaedics, paediatrics and urology.
Evidence That Changed Medical Practice
Evidence Update
Evidence Update is a new way of reading and understanding Cochrane systematic reviews. Each Evidence Update is a two-page summary of a Cochrane Review of healthcare interventions relevant to people in low-income and middle income-countries. Each Evidence Update is prepared by a member of the Effective Health Care Research Programme Consortium (EHCRPC) in collaboration with the Australasian Cochrane Centre and is updated every time a review update is published in the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews (part of The Cochrane Library). EHCRPC collaborators in China and Thailand are working to translate the Evidence Updates into Chinese and Thai.
