Don’t hierarchies distinguish between systematic reviews of RCTs, those of cohort studies, those of case control series....all of which are considered as operating as different levels of evidence?

I would think if it is a systematic review of qualitative studies it is still a systematic review and thus still in the same place as other systematic reviews on the hierarchy of evidence. -- Susan Fowler, MLIS Medical Librarian Evidence at Becker: http://beckerguides.wustl.edu/ebm Mobile Resources Guide: http://beckerguides.wustl.edu/mobileresources Becker Medical Library, Washington University in St. Louis 314-362-8092 [log in to unmask] On Mon, Oct 17, 2011 at 12:25 PM, Kathleen Irvine <[log in to unmask]> wrote: Can anyone advise how systematic reviews of qualitative studies should be regarded in terms of evidence-based practice? They don’t have a place on the normal hierarchies of evidence but often seem to be of potential value to clinicians.
