Hello from Liverpool
Details of the PCG Module, which will be published in Issue 4, 2003, of The
Cochrane Library on 20 October 2003 (provisional publication date), are
given below. In brief, we have added 2 new reviews, 7 new protocols and
updated 10 reviews substantively. We have also withdrawn 6 reviews
because they have been superseded by new publications, and withdrawn 1
protocol. Thank you to everybody who contributed to this Module.
all the best
Sonja
