Searching EMBASE Helen Rowlandson Medicines Information Manager Northwick Park Hospital, London

Session aims  To understand the concepts of a basic search strategy in Embase  To describe the EMTREE thesaurus in detail so that you will be able to apply EMTREE to use Embase efficiently  To carry out advanced Embase searches

Plan  What is Embase?  Medline v Embase  EMTREE  NLH Software – searching tools  Worked Examples

What is EMBASE?  Major biomedical & pharmaceutical database  European focus  >3,500 journals, 70 countries  Subject coverage focuses on human medicine Includes drug research, pharmacology, pharmaceutics, health policy and management, public health

EMBASE vs Medline MEDLINE  USA coverage  1950 onwards  Wide medical coverage  In process  MeSH indexing EMBASE  European coverage  1974 onwards  Drug/pharmacology focus  Updated faster  EMTREE indexing 30% overlap between the Medline and Embase

Searching EMBASE  Controlled vocabulary = EMTREE  Uses natural language  US spellings rather than British  INNs used where possible  Acronyms & abbreviations can be used  Tree Structure – Hierarchy  Indexing: Terms added/Drug names

 Open Internet and type:  Click “Athens users click here”  Right click & then click on “create a shortcut”  Enter Athens password NLH Software

 Embase 1974 to date  2 options to search for terms: Thesaurus mapping Browse headings

 Explode Includes everything below in the tree structure  Focus (Major) Only includes articles where the MeSH heading (descriptor) is the main focus of the article Explode/Focus

 Many more subheading options for drugs compared with Medline e.g. diclofenac Subheadings

 No real need to use them in EMBASE  Most medicines have EMTREE terms – even recently licensed ones  If a drug hasn’t got an EMTREE term assigned – use free text CAS numbers

 Limit searches in similar way to Medline  Differences compared with Medline Limits

 Publication types have their own facet / tree top of EMTREE terms that are searchable  Facet J: types of article or study  Build up your search and combine in the usual way (using BOOLEAN) with other search terms Publication types

 Are there any papers about UK SSRIs or SNRIs being used in the treatment of Huntington disease? Worked example 1

 Are there any articles which discuss using high dose vitamin supplementation to treat autism ? Worked example 2
