Osteoarthritis: Pharmacological Therapies Update Search
Jan 1, 2011 to Dec. 31, 2012
From end of original search to end of 4th quarter 2012
This update search is the result of the replicated search strategy used to identify studies for the
original evidence report that informed guideline development for Pharmacologic Therapies in
Osteoarthritis.
These results have not been screened to determine relevancy of studies. There may be some
overlap with the results of the original search, and references outside the time frame. There may
be other sources not searched that would yield relevant studies.
