摘要:With the development of evidence-based medicine,researchers pay more attention to the evidence rather than clinical experience when they make healthy policy and clinical decision.Systematic reviews with high quality provide reliable evidence for the decision of evidence-based medicine.To closely combine evidence with clinical practice and ultimately use evidence in clinic,we can transfer complicated clinical problems to answerable questions based on PICOS(patients,interventions,controls,outcomes and study designs) when we propose questions of systematic reviews.
