The objective of this work was to develop practice guidelines for the management of alcoholic liver disease.
A computerized search using the Medline Data Base from 1966-July 1997 was performed with the search headings; alcohol, alcoholic hepatitis, alcoholic liver disease, liver transplant, diagnosis, epidemiology, human, and English only. All randomized controlled trials, case-control studies, and meta-analyses were read in depth. A manual search was also done using references from each retrieved report, review articles, editorials, postgraduate course syllabi, and textbooks. In the subsequent review, evidence was evaluated using a hierarchical scale with randomized, controlled trials given the most importance. Abstracts presented at national meetings were included only when unique data were obtained from those studies.
本研究的目的是制定酒精性肝病管理的实践指南。
利用1966年至1997年7月的医学数据库进行计算机检索,检索词为:酒精、酒精性肝炎、酒精性肝病、肝移植、诊断、流行病学、人类,且仅为英文。对所有随机对照试验、病例对照研究和荟萃分析进行了深入阅读。还利用每份检索报告的参考文献、综述文章、社论、研究生课程大纲和教科书进行了手工检索。在随后的综述中,使用分级量表对证据进行评估,其中随机对照试验最为重要。仅当从这些研究中获得独特数据时,才纳入在全国会议上发表的摘要。
