EMBASE: A CASE STUDY
![Page 17: Embase - Answers to your biomedical answers webinar - 27 Sept 2012](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062706/55796e13d8b42a3a5c8b4eef/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Case study
•A clinician is working on a systematic review for publication. She needs to adhere to certain guidelines to ensure she has conducted a through search of the literature.

Question
•Are there any risks associated with the administration of antibiotics together with digoxin in a patient with congestive heart failure who has contracted pneumonia?

• Articles like this contain vital information...

For example…

2 sets of results…Why are the results so different and
does it matter…?
![Page 22: Embase - Answers to your biomedical answers webinar - 27 Sept 2012](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062706/55796e13d8b42a3a5c8b4eef/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
23 synonyms as well as ‘antibacterial agent’ are searched simultaneously as well as over 38 narrower
terms (including moxifloxacin).
No simultaneous searching of synonyms or narrower terms= Only ‘antibacterial
agent’ is searched and this does not find all the vital information
![Page 23: Embase - Answers to your biomedical answers webinar - 27 Sept 2012](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062706/55796e13d8b42a3a5c8b4eef/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Found in your Embase results, not in your non-indexed supported search...
![Page 24: Embase - Answers to your biomedical answers webinar - 27 Sept 2012](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062706/55796e13d8b42a3a5c8b4eef/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
2 thesaurus assisted searches but different results? Embase has unique content ,such as
conference abstracts.
![Page 25: Embase - Answers to your biomedical answers webinar - 27 Sept 2012](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062706/55796e13d8b42a3a5c8b4eef/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Found in your Embase search, not in your MEDLINE search...
We are looking for digoxin AND ‘antibacterial agent’ but Medline does NOT index digoxin in this article.

Building and combining searches
• Use single quotes to capture a phrase ‘diabetes mellitus’ for example (not with Autocomplete in Quick Search)
• Break up your search into individual searches, such as a drug search (in Drug Search form) and a disease search (in Disease Search form) and combine your results in Session Results
• Run your cursor over your search to Edit or copy to a Search Form for guided editing.
• Truncation and operators, AND, OR, NOT, NEXT, NEAR
Refer to http://info.embase.com/helpfiles for more guidance and links to materials such as the Quick User Guide.

Refining your search
• Quick and Advanced Limits on Advanced, Drug and Disease Search forms
• Major Focus on all advanced forms – major drugs and diseases retrieved
• Field limits under Advanced Search box to search in specific fields such as article title, abstract, conference name, drug name etc
• Drug and Disease Subheadings to limit to specific concepts such as Adverse Drug Reaction, Drug Comparison and Side Effect.
• Filters on Session Results page for specific diseases or study types for example
