Updating search strategies for systematic reviews using EndNote

چکیده
Performing, writing, and publishing a systematic review take a long time. In a cohort of journalpublished systematic reviews, Cochrane reviews, and health technology assessment reports, the median time lag between the stated last search date and publication was 61 weeks (interquartile range, 33–87 weeks) [1]. In the same cohort of reviews, 7% were out of date at the time of publication [2]. More recently, an examination of 182 systematic reviews performed at Erasmus Medical Centre showed that the median time between the first search and the appearance of the resulting review in PubMed was 89 weeks (interquartile range, 63–126 weeks).
