SYSTEMATIC REVIEWS IN THE PRACTICE OF THE EPIDEMIOLOGY OF TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURIES
Keywords:
living systematic review, traumatic brain injuries, epidemiology, evidence-based medicine.
Abstract
High quality epidemiological data are vital for planning effective public health preventive strategies, providing health care services and evaluation of their effectiveness. Systematic reviews provide a summary of the results of carefully selected studies in a methodologically defined reproducible process. Authors of this article will present their experiences with the living systematic review of the epidemiology of traumatic brain injuries in Europe developed within the international project CENTER-TBI using the standardized methods.
