ABSTRACTBackground: Evidence from health services research (HSR) is
currently thinly spread through many journals, making it difficult for
health services researchers, managers and policy-makers to find research
on clinical practice guidelines and the appropriateness, process,
outcomes, cost and economics of health care services. We undertook to
develop and test search terms to retrieve from the MEDLINE database HSR
articles meeting minimum quality standards. Methods: The retrieval
performance of 7445 methodologic search terms and phrases in MEDLINE (the
test) were compared with a hand search of the literature (the gold
standard) for each issue of 68 journal titles for the year 2000 (a total
of 25 936 articles). We determined sensitivity, specificity and precision
(the positive predictive value) of the MEDLINE search strategies. Results:
A majority of the articles that were classified as outcome assessment, but
fewer than half of those in the other categories, were considered
methodologically acceptable (no methodologic criteria were applied for
cost studies).
