Evidence-based medicine projects

A number of smaller “evidence-based medicine” projects are currently being funded, including a project relating to shiftwork scheduling and roster design-impact on sleep, performance and physiology, a systematic review and meta-analysis looking at evidence for the effect of ICS/LABA combination therapy during asthma exacerbations, and a review to determine whether treatment with antibiotics influences purulent bronchiectasis.
