COPD (Respiratory Specialist Library)
http://www.library.nhs.uk/respiratory
The Annual Evidence Update for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Diseases (COPD) presents the evidence published in this area in 2008. Building on the comprehensive review carried out to inform the NSF and presented earlier this year in February, this AEU details the very latest published evidence in COPD. There will be no invited commentaries or updates to the text published in the COPD National Knowledge Week earlier this year due to the close proximity of the publication of the NSF for COPD.

The resources included in the update are mostly systematic reviews and some guidance published in the preceding year (2007-2008). Where possible we provide links to the full text and where these are not available to the abstract. The Cancer Specialist Library conducts on-going literature searches and the resources presented in the Annual Evidence Update are the most recently published material that has been indexed in the international databases we search. We welcome feedback about the resources included in this update - do contact us if you would like to comment.
