Sažetak
Cochrane Collaboration is an international and non-profit organization which main goal is to promote Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM) and to create and disseminate reliable, high-quality evidence on interventional and diagnostic procedures in a health care. Archibald Cochrane was a Scottish physician and one of a founders of evidence-based medicine. The organization got named after him, in his honour. The organization was found in 1993. in Oxford (UK), under the leadership of Sir Iain Chalmers. Nowadays, Cochrane Collaboration brings together over 40,000 associates and volunteers from more than 130 countries. Cochrane Collaboration consists of a several different working groups that are supporting work of the organization. The main product of Cochrane Collaboration is the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews (CDSR), which is the main part of the Cochrane Library. The Cochrane Library contains various types of high-quality, independent evidence for decision-making in healthcare. The daily development of Cochrane Collaboration is reflected on increasing of the number of Cochrane systematic reviews and the number of collaborators. Cochrane Collaboration has several goals for the future, including a desire to make high-quality evidence available to anyone around the world and to establish collaboration as the main evidence-based health advocate.
