چکیده
Canada. HTIS responses are based on a limited literature search and are not comprehensive, systematic reviews. The intent is to provide the best evidence on the topic that could be identified within the time allowed. HTIS responses should be considered along with other types of information and health care considerations. The information included in this response is not intended to replace professional medical advice, nor should it be construed as a recommendation for or against the use of a particular health technology. Readers are also cautioned that a lack of good quality evidence does not necessarily mean a lack of effectiveness particularly in the case of new and emerging health technologies, for which little information can be found, but which may in future prove to be effective.
