Where does the medical information in Couplers come from?

Each Coupler is based on clinical textbooks, consensus reports, and clinical practice guidelines. This framework is supported with information from the latest medical literature, including clinical trials. The PKC medical content development team scours over 30 core medical journals and many specialty journals for new information to include in Couplers. The team also monitors the Cochrane database, journal clubs, and abstract journals to find articles not indexed by MEDLINE. We regularly scan The New England Journal of Medicine, The Lancet, JAMA (Journal of the American Medical Association), The Annals of Internal Medicine, and many more.
