MALS Compass is written and edited by an independent editorial team. This page explains how we create and update content.
Sources
Medical statements should be based on peer-reviewed research (for example, articles indexed in PubMed), clinical guidelines and information from recognised health institutions. Every medical article lists the sources it is based on, with links to PubMed, and is checked again when important new research appears.
Updates
Every article shows the date it was last updated. Some older articles were written before this editorial process was introduced. We are reviewing them, starting with the most-read pages.
Medical review
Key pages will be reviewed by a licensed physician. When a page has been reviewed, the reviewer's name, specialty and the review date are shown on that page. See medical review.
Independence
We do not accept payment from clinics, device makers or drug companies for content, and we do not rank or endorse healthcare providers. See our advertising policy.
Corrections
If you find an error, please tell us via contact and corrections. We review every report and update the page when a correction is needed.
MALS Compass is an independent educational website, not a medical provider, and is not affiliated with any hospital, clinic or university.
