Search strategies


The following are listings of the main Medline strategies used for this guideline. All conventions and symbols are from the Ovid implementation of Medline. Strategies used in other databases were substantially the same, though different terminology may have been used to take account of different thesaurii used in non-Medline databases.

Search filters were added to identify studies of a particular type (guideline, systematic review, etc.) Listings of the search filters used by SIGN can be found on the SIGN Web site.
