EBI-BD is an open-access platform storing current best scientific
evidence about the efficacy and acceptability of interventions for
people with bipolar disorder.
This EBI-BD database aims to inform evidence-based guidelines by
facilitating access to updated results of a systematic umbrella
review of the scientific literature on interventions for bipolar
disorder, and to provide a description of all the pharmacological
options, other biological treatments and psychosocial
interventions tested in randomized controlled trials and pooled in
(network) meta-analyses. When using EBI-BD to inform
evidence-based clinical guidelines, an additional systematic
literature search should be conducted to identify recent
individual RCTs that have not been pooled in any meta-analysis
yet.
The EBI-BD database also provides links to existing
psychoeducation materials, that are made freely available from
other groups, organizations, institutions, or associations
