Medical Literature

CHAEN Published Literature (PDF)

CHAEN has commissioned a yearly search as a service to researchers and clinicians with the hopes that they will freely use the results for various endeavours including but not limited improving patient care, fostering research, and increasing education and awareness of HAE. The results are presented as originally identified [i.e. without bias]. The full search strategy is listed below. CHAEN provides this a service free of charge and endeavours to make this as useful as possible. As such, we would appreciate any constructive criticism to help improve the utility of the literature searches.
