Remembering Kayode Adetugbo

It is with sadness that I report the death of Prof Kayode Adetugbo (2/5/1944 to 10/2/2024), who was the first Cochrane Skin Group (CSG) co-ordinator 1998 to 2000. The CSG was formally established as an entity with Cochrane in 1997, and funding from Trent Region enabled us to employ Kayode as co-ordinator and Finola Delamere as Trials Search Co-ordinator. Kayode played a critically important role in helping our CSG become better organised and more international in its work. I appreciate that most current Cochrane Skin colleagues were not around when Kayode worked with us, but it important to remember his contribution. This was an early publication summarising the need for Cochrane systematic reviews that Kayode was part of.
