12 MSK conditions on Cochrane priority list

Bone health

12 Feb 2015

Musculoskeletal and back conditions have made it onto the Cochrane priority list of topics to review 12 times.

Cochrane says the list sets out topics that ‘best meet the needs of healthcare and health policy decision makers.’

They hope publicising the list will act as a stimulus to encourage funders to support production of the reviews, and also attract experienced and skilled research teams to take on the vacant titles on the list.
