Systematic reviews provide an efficient method for clinicians to ascertain the evidence-base for various treatments. In a systematic review, a comprehensive search of the literature is undertaken to answer a focused research question. Specifically, the search strategy, criteria for selection and critical appraisal of evidence are defined, quantitative rather than qualitative results are reported and evidence-based inferences are made. Systematic reviews are often considered to represent the highest level of evidence on hierarchies of evidence. Their methodological quality, however, can vary, and as such, affect the credibility of results. Clinicians should, therefore, critically appraise the methodological quality of a systematic review before accepting the conclusions.
