Sažetak
Objectives Participants will be able to: - Describe why systematic reviews of randomised controlled trials are the most reliable form of scientific evidence. - Explain the role and activities of The Cochrane Collaboration. - Discuss the findings of breastfeeding related Cochrane systematic reviews. Abstract/Outline This presentation will begin with a reminder of the IBCLC’s commitment to promoting evidence based medicine. It will then look at the different types of available evidence and analyse why systematic reviews of randomised controlled trials are at the pinnacle of the evidence hierarchy. In today’s resource scarce setting, it is important to be assured that plans for a particular piece of new research have taken systematic account of what can be known from relevant previous research. Systematic reviews are paramount for avoiding duplication of research and driving the generation of new knowledge. This introduction will then lead on to the work of The Cochrane Collaboration, dedicated to the promotion of EBM through the production of quality systematic reviews. The audience will be informed of the latest activities of The Cochrane Collaboration and how IBCLCs can benefit and get involved. The third part of the presentation will provide an up-to-date overview of published Cochrane systematic reviews related to breastfeeding topics.
