Articles
How our articles are written and reviewed
Every article follows the same structure, carries its sources and names the person accountable for reviewing it.
What each article carries
Title and review information
A descriptive title, the author, the clinician accountable for reviewing the content where clinical judgement is involved, and the dates it was reviewed and last updated.
At a glance
A short summary at the top, and clear headings so you can move straight to the part you need.
The article
Clear headings, descriptive links, accessible tables and cited sources. Articles explain how care works and how to prepare for it; they do not diagnose or give individual advice.
Sources and review
Real source links, the reviewer’s attribution and the review date. No source is cited that has not been checked, and no reviewer is named who has not reviewed the piece.
Documents and other websites
Some articles are PDF documents, and some point to a trusted page on another website. Their cards say so, and they open in a new tab.
How to use this information
Our articles support a conversation with your care team. They do not replace individual medical advice.
For a medical emergency, call 911.
