“…Consistent with prior research [7], our findings support the use of literature scanning/surveillance as a practical approach for identifying reviews likely to need updating within short time periods. Findings from this study do not support the use of a consistent a priori time interval for updating all systematic reviews.…”

“…Comparison of a number of searches, including two tested here, has been previously reported [15]. In this current article, two of the most successful methods in a larger sample of 72 journal-published systematic reviews, clinical query (CQ), and PubMed-related articles are tested in a cohort of six updated Cochrane reviews, as well as in a previously unreported sample of 10 Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) evidence reports.…”

Although MEDLINE provides excellent coverage of health science evidence, it has proved challenging to achieve high levels of recall through Boolean searches alone.Study Design and Setting: Recall of one Boolean search method, the clinical query (CQ), combined with a ranking method, support vector machine (SVM), or PubMed-related articles, was tested against a gold standard of studies added to 6 updated Cochrane reviews and 10 Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) evidence reviews. For the AHRQ sample, precision and temporal stability were examined for each method.Results: Recall of new studies was 0.69 for the CQ, 0.66 for related articles, 0.50 for SVM, 0.91 for the combination of CQ and related articles, and 0.89 for the combination of CQ and SVM. Precision was 0.11 for CQ and related articles combined, and 0.11 for CQ and SVM combined. Related articles showed least stability over time.Conclusions: The complementary combination of a Boolean search strategy and a ranking strategy appears to provide a robust method for identifying relevant studies in MEDLINE.
