Abstract
The long-term cooperation of gastroenterologists from Rijeka with specific groups within the Cochrane Collaboration has resulted in significant progress in the field of scientific research and numerous publications. The findings and conclusions reached in the published Cochrane systematic reviews represent reliable evidence in various gastroenterology fields, particularly chronic hepatitis C infection, cholestatic liver disease and acute pancreatitis. The aforementioned publications are highly quoted papers, which are cited in different international guidelines and treatment recommendations. With the contribution of authors from Rijeka, a door to cooperation with several foreign experts and associates has been opened, courses in evidence-based medicine have been organized, and the collaboration with the Croatian Cochrane Center and other domestic scientists has been enhanced. This review article presents an overiew of the achievements of authors from Rijeka within the Cochrane Collaboration with a summary of the most important results and conclusions from the systematic reviews aiming to inform the public of the opportunities given by the Cochrane Collaboration and the type of scientific research implemented by it, as well as, to promote and popularize evidence-based medicine in a broad scientific and professional community.
