Why use Cochrane Clinical Answers?

• Evidence you can trust: each CCA is created by our team of expert editors using the gold standard of evidence in Cochrane's rigorous reviews. Learn more about why our evidence is trusted.
• Clinically relevant: each CCA contains a clinical question and short answer structured around the PICO (Patient/Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome) framework. This helps you find the most relevant evidence for your clinical context.
• Focused and practical: CCAs include concise summaries with key outcome data from the most relevant Cochrane reviews, helping busy healthcare professionals save time.
• Easy to navigate: the CCA format includes user-friendly tables, with narratives, data, and graphics. You can easily navigate to the full Cochrane review if you need to dive deeper into the evidence.
