Systematic literature search is a fundamental in evidence-based medicine. But systematic literature search is not yet a very well used way of retrieving evidence-based information. This article profiles a systematic literature search for evidence-based literature. It goes through the most central databases and gives an example of how to document the literature search. The article also sums up the literature search in all reviews in Ugeskrift for Laeger in the year 2004.
