Clinical Queries using Research Methodology Filters

This specialized search is intended for clinicians and has built-in search "filters" based largely upon Haynes RB et al.. Four study categories--therapy, diagnosis, etiology, prognosis--are provided, and you may indicate whether you wish your search to be more sensitive (i.e., include most relevant articles but probably including some less relevant ones) or more specific (i.e. including mostly relevant articles but probably omit a few). See this table for details regarding filtering.
Indicate the category and emphasis below:
Category: therapy diagnosis etiology prognosis
Emphasis: sensitivity specificity

Enter subject search (do not repeat any of the words above):

NOTE: If you want to retrieve everything on a subject area, you should not use this page. The objective of filtering is to reduce the retrieval to articles that report research conducted with specific methodologies, and retrieval will be greatly reduced.
