The search waslimited to 1991-1999. Internet search-engines were selected by commoncriteria. Identical search strategies were independently applied to andmasked from Internet search engines, as well as the Medline-CD.Results 3,488 articles were obtained using 129 search strategies. Agreementwith the Medline-CD was 54% for PubMed, 57% for Gateway, 54% forMedscape and 65 % for BioMedNet. The highest agreement rate for a givenspeciality (paediatrics) was 78,1 % for BioMedNet, having greater -/- than+/+ agreement.Conclusions Even though free access to Medline has encouraged theboom and growth of evidence-based medicine, these results must be consideredwithin the context of which search engine was selected for doing thesearches. The internet search engines studied showed a poor agreementwith the Medline-CD, the rate of agreement differing according to speciality,thus significantly affecting searches and their reproducibility. Software designedfor conducting Medline database searches, including the Medline-CD, must be standardised and validated. 2005 artículo científico 0124-0064 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=42270209 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=422 Revista de Salud Pública application/pdf Universidad Nacional de Colombia Revista de Salud Pública (Colombia) Num.2 Vol.7 |
