Abstract

BACKGROUND: The international Cochrane Skin group, established in 1997, organizes, writes and disseminates systematic reviews of therapeutic interventions in dermatology. OBJECTIVE: To introduce the Cochrane Skin Group and what it offers to cutaneous medicine and surgery providers. METHODS: Descriptive review of the structure and output of the Cochrane Collaboration Library and the Cochrane Skin Group. RESULTS: Systematic reviews of randomized controlled trials produced through the Cochrane Skin Group provide a benchmark for evidence summaries for informing clinical decisions in dermatology. CONCLUSION: The work performed by the Cochrane Skin Group is an important component for informing the evidence base for the clinical practice of cutaneous and surgical dermatology.
