Pearls

PEARLS are short practical summaries of the evidence in relation to specific topics, derived from Cochrane Systematic Reviews. They have been developed by the Cochrane Primary Care Field, New Zealand Branch of the Australasian Cochrane Centre at the Department of General Practice and Primary Health Care, University of Auckland and funded by the New Zealand Guidelines Group. PEARLS provide guidance on whether a treatment is effective or ineffective. PEARLS are prepared as an educational resource and do not replace clinician judgment in the management of individual cases. You can access PEARLS from the New Zealand Doctor website.
