COVID-19 vaccine evidence monitoring assisted by artificial Intelligence: An emergency system implemented by the Public Health Agency of Canada to capture and describe the trajectory of evolving pandemic vaccine literature.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a rapid accumulation of novel vaccine research evidence. As a means to monitor this evidence, the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) created the vidence etraction eam for esearch nalysis (), which contributed to situational awareness in Canada through a bibliographic repository used to support decision-making by the National Advisory Committee on Immunization. We describe the process by which this literature was identified and catalogued, and provide an overview of characteristics in the identified literature.

Ethics information retrieval in HTA: state of current practice.

Objectives: Though there have been longstanding discussions on the value of ethics in health technology assessment (HTA), less awareness exists on ethics information retrieval methods. This study aimed to scope available evidence and determine current practices for ethics information retrieval in HTA.

Methods: Literature searches were conducted in Ovid MEDLINE, LISTA, Scopus, and Google Scholar.

Updated generic search filters for finding studies of adverse drug effects in Ovid medline and Embase may retrieve up to 90% of relevant studies.

Background: The most current objectively derived search filters for adverse drug effects are 15 years old and other strategies have not been developed and tested empirically.

Objective: To develop and validate search filters to retrieve evidence on adverse drug effects from Ovid medline and Ovid Embase.

Methods: We identified systematic reviews of adverse drug effects in Epistemonikos.
