Archie Cochrane
Professor
Archibald Leman Cochrane (
January 12,
1909 -
June 18,
1988) was a British medical researcher whose book
Effectiveness and Efficiency: Random Reflections on Health Services (1972) and subsequent advocacy caused increasing acceptance of the
evidence-based medicine concept. Cochrane's work was honoured through the naming of centres of evidence-based medical research - Cochrane Centres - an international organisation - the
Cochrane Collaboration - and a key database for medical research and practice - the
Cochrane Library.
