Methodology

The Institute is actively involved in the development of methods for evidence syntheses, i.e., methods for survival time endpoints (time-to-event outcomes), the further development of prognostic reviews within Cochrane, and the further development of the living evidence approach. Employees are members of the GRADE Working Group, the Cochrane Prognosis Methods Group, and the Living Evidence Network.
