What are good choices for medical sources on Wikipedia?

Good sources:

• are typically no more than 5 years old
• summarize secondary sources or many primary sources
• provide an overview of the current understanding of the topic
• combine the results of several studies
• are published independently of the research

For example:

• literature reviews or systematic reviews found in reputable medical journals
• academic and professional books written by experts in the relevant field, from a respected publisher
• medical guidelines or position statements from nationally or internationally recognized expert bodies
