description ABSTRACT Systematic review is a method to combine multiple sources of evidence through an explicit and reproducible way of literature search and critical appraisal of the quality of included studies, with or without mathematical methods to synthesis these information. Since this method was first introduced more than centuries ago, systematic review has been increasingly popular and widely used particularly in the area of medicine. Systematic review is often very useful to physicians to help supporting the clinical decision making and significantly reducing their time to seek for appropriate evidence. However, despite its reproducible and systematic steps to substantially minimize the presence of biases, physicians should still be aware that sys,tematic review is not completely biases resistant.Inclusion of poor quality studies, heterogeneity, and publication or other reporting biases are commonly evident in systematic review that may hinder the quality of the conclusion. This review summarizes the core principals of systematic review and its potential biases, and discusses when the systematic review is useful or needing careful attention.
