The 2009 Annual Evidence Update (AEU) on Post Transplant Lymphoproliferative Disorders (PTLD) in Renal Transplant Patients uses the latest guidelines on PTLD in Adult Solid Organ Transplant Recipients from the British Committee for Standards in Haematology and the British Transplant Society as a starting point, to retrieve evidence on this topic from 2004, and presents on the following topics: Science, Presentation, Diagnosis and Treatment.
This AEU includes commentaries by Drs David Goldsmith and Edward Sharples to help healthcare professionals to improve their understanding of this condition.
Background to the NHS Evidence Specialist Collections and Annual Evidence Updates
The specialist collections have been developed to identify and meet the information needs of particular communities of practice. They are web-based collections containing clinical and non-clinical information on the major health priority areas. Each specialist collection identifies and provides access to quality assessed information of relevance to the community that it serves. An aspect of this involves the production of Annual Evidence Updates, which aim to highlight the best current evidence for selected healthcare topics. Annual Evidence Updates consist of the good quality evidence from a search of research evidence on a particular topic over a 12 month period, plus user-friendly summaries written by relevant experts, and links to guidelines, secondary research and primary research, if applicable. All information included in Annual Evidence Updates has been subject to rigorous selection criteria.
