Filtering your UpToDate search

Tip: Use search filtering and other quick tools to get to the right answer, quickly.

The UpToDate search is designed to get you to the answers to your questions as quickly and efficiently as possible. You also have the flexibility to customize how and what information is visible. The navigation options provide easy filtering, multiple language preferences and a personalized view of the search results. When conducting a clinical search, take advantage of these options: Search in your preferred language: Choose your preferred language from the search box or top navigation.  Search by disease, symptom, lab abnormality, procedure or drug: UpToDate also recognizes many common medical abbreviations. Filter search results: Toggle buttons to the right of the search box allow you to filter your search results.  Customize the search results: Search results include a list of the most relevant topics and the most commonly accessed content within a topic.  Choose Collapse results at the top right to display only the topic titles.  Select it again to expand results. Scroll over a topic title and see a full topic outline.  Or, choose Hide Topic Outline to reduce the amount of content on the screen.  Select it again to show topic outline.
