Search strategies to identify reports on “off-label” drug use in EMBASE
BACKGROUND Medications are frequently prescribed outside their regulatory approval (off-label) by physicians particularly where appropriate therapies are not available. However, the risk/benefit ratio of drugs in off-label use needs to be critically appraised because it may differ from approved on-label usage. Therefore, an extensive exploration of current evidence on clinical data is well-advi...
متن کاملStrategies to optimize MEDLINE and EMBASE search strategies for anesthesiology systematic reviews. An experimental study.
BACKGROUND A high-quality electronic search is essential for ensuring accuracy and comprehensiveness among the records retrieved when conducting systematic reviews. Therefore, we aimed to identify the most efficient method for searching in both MEDLINE (through PubMed) and EMBASE, covering search terms with variant spellings, direct and indirect orders, and associations with MeSH and EMTREE ter...

متن کاملThe feasibility of a search filter for the adverse effects of nondrug interventions in MEDLINE and Embase
Authors and indexers are increasingly including terms for adverse drug effects in the titles, abstracts, or indexing of records in MEDLINE and Embase. However, it is not clear if this is the same for studies with nondrug adverse effects data. We therefore assessed the feasibility of using adverse effects terms when searching MEDLINE or Embase to retrieve papers of nondrug adverse effects. A col...
متن کاملDialysis search filters for PubMed, Ovid MEDLINE, and Embase databases.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Physicians frequently search bibliographic databases, such as MEDLINE via PubMed, for best evidence for patient care. The objective of this study was to develop and test search filters to help physicians efficiently retrieve literature related to dialysis (hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis) from all other articles indexed in PubMed, Ovid MEDLINE, and Embase. DESIGN...
