Clinical literature search strategy

Spend less time restarting the search.

Unclear questions and changing criteria create extra searches and extra screening. A clear strategy gives your team a consistent starting point for finding and reviewing relevant evidence.

A clearer starting point

Agree the question before collecting the papers.

Define what matters

Start with the device’s intended purpose, patient population and clinical question. These determine what evidence your review needs.

Make the method repeatable

Document search concepts, databases, queries and selection criteria. Keep assumptions and missing information visible so reviewers can challenge them.

Keep review separate

A strategy is not an evidence conclusion or a finished CER. Search execution, appraisal and qualified regulatory review still need their own steps.

Discuss your search strategy.

Bring a generic description of your device and the question you need to answer. This page offers guidance and a conversation, not an online generator or an instant report. Leave out confidential information.

Start with one recurring task

Which part of your literature review keeps repeating?

Pick the task that takes too much preparation. Walk through the Bevrik approach, confirm the available workflow and identify the review your team would still need to do.
