Archibald L. Cochrane  

Definition

  • Archibald L. (Archie) Cochrane (1909–1988) was a British physician who contributed greatly to the development of epidemiology, and he was a pioneer in evidence-based medicine. His ideas eventually led to the creation of the international Cochrane Collaboration, which tracks down, evaluates, and synthesizes the results of clinical trials and other studies in all areas of medicine.
