Abstract:
The Cochrane Library of Systematic Reviews is published quarterly. Issue four for 2004 of the library was published in October 2004. The Cochrane Library now contains 2170 complete reviews, 1500 protocols of reviews and 4918 one-page summaries of systematic reviews published in the general medical literature. In addition there are citations of 427.807 randomised controlled trials, 18 methodology reviews and 5968 cited papers in the Cochrane methodology register. The health technology assessment database contains 4395 citations. In this edition of the Library issued in October 2004, there were 96 new reviews of which 12 have potential relevance for practitioners in pain and palliative medicine. Regular readers will note that the format of the citation has changed with the move to publication of the Cochrane Library by John Wiley & Sons. Citations will probably change again in the future as currently there is no indication of the date when a review was first published.
