Annual Evidence Update on Inflammatory Bowel Disease

The NLH Gastroenterology and Liver Diseases Specialist Library project team has carried out a systematic search on Inflammatory Bowel Disease to identify all high level evidence published in the past year; namely guidelines, systematic reviews, health technology assessments and economic evaluations. Leading experts from around the UK have read and appraised these for their validity and relevance to the busy clinician.

A list of the most useful papers, along with commentary from the experts, is available on the site at http://www.library.nhs.uk/gastroliver/viewResource.aspx?resID=309257. This year, the team has also begun to identify uncertainties in research to contribute to the DUETs project. (See www.library.nhs.uk/duets for more details).
