Systematic review and meta-analysis
I have been engaged in various projects involving systematic reviews since 1998, when I received formal training through courses at Oxford CEBM. 1998. I have published systematic reviews, have a Cochrane Review registered, and has international collaborations (Universidade do Vale do Rio dos Sinos UNISINOS, Brasil) involving systematic reviews.
