More PEARLS – Practical Evidence About Real Life Situations

PEARLS are short summaries of Cochrane Systematic Reviews for primary care practitioners and provide guidance on whether a treatment is effective or ineffective. They are designed as an educational resource and are 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. Some of the latest Pearl topics include metabolic control in type 1 diabetes in adolescents, early mobilisation after stroke and clinical trials and publication bias.
