Review standard
What clinical review means on this site
Clinical review is a read of the exact rendered page, not of an outline or a summary. The review asks whether the medical statements match the public guidance the page cites, whether the page keeps education separate from personal medical advice, and whether anything on the page tells a reader to start, stop, or change a treatment.
- Reviewed. The page shows the approval date beside the reviewer name, and its structured data carries the same date.
- Reviewed, then updated. A page that changed after its approval date says so in its header and marks the update as awaiting clinical review. The original approval date stays truthful, and the new material is not presented as reviewed.
- Review requested. A page published before its review is complete shows its publication date and a review-requested line. No review date appears until the review happens.
The editorial policy explains how sources are chosen, how pages are dated, and how corrections are handled.
