Annual Evidence Update on Spinal Disease (NHS Evidence - trauma and orthopaedics)
www.library.nhs.uk/trauma_orthopaedics
NHS Evidence - trauma and orthopaedics in conjunction with the Musculoskeletal Specialist Collection have produced an Annual Evidence Update on Spinal Diseases. Included in this Evidence Update are guidelines and systematic reviews published within the last year covering low back pain, ankylosing spondylitis, disc herniation and spinal fractures. This topic should be of particular interest to all health professionals working in this field.
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.
