Topic: Health services, long-term care and technology
More than 3500 Cochrane Reviews are now available in full, including information on the methods, eligible studies, analyses, results, and conclusions. There is also a new review of the effects of increased police patrols for preventing alcohol-impaired driving and an updated review comparing the effects of a policy of ‘hospital at home’ versus inpatient care.

How this study scored 45/100
Published in a peer-reviewed journal. Scored zero for study design, effect reported and randomised / blinded because the record does not state it. We have no data on journal's citation record, times cited, citations per year, impact for its field and year, cited by studies here, still being cited, senior author's track record, institution's track record and multi-centre collaboration, so those were left out: it earned 26 of the 58 points we could judge it on, which is 45 out of 100.
