Systematic review collection
Each month, we search PubMed to identify the latest systematically conducted reviews relevant to aged care. This includes systematic reviews and other review types, such as scoping reviews, umbrella reviews, reviews of reviews and meta-analyses, where the authors have also assessed the quality of the included studies. To do so we use the PubMed one-click search available on the bottom of the main page of the systematic review collection.
The search results and numbers are generally constrained by the time of the search and the sources. We do not intend for the results to cover all the possible available systematic reviews for that month. Users are advised to conduct there own searches using additional supports provided through the aged care search collection.
We ideally seek to find twenty studies each month but will conduct additional searches using Google Scholar to find more if required.
Quick summaries
In 2026 we created ARIIA quick summaries to give users a workforce perspective on ten selected open access articles from each month. We selected these reviews based relevance to the following priorities:
- aged care settings
- the workforce
- older adults
Where more than 10 open access reviews were identified in a month, additional articles were included in that month’s full review collection containing open and subscription access articles.
