Evidence Based Medicine (EBM) Review
EBM: The trifecta of best research evidence, clinical expertise, and patient values.1
EBM Resource Types
EBM Resource Types
An evidence based practice is NOT solely engaging with and appraising primary research. In fact, this should be done rarely. Due to the breadth of research produced and the efficiency required for clinical practice – we should primarily rely on summary sources, clinical guidelines, and preappraised sources.1
Hierarchy of evidence for assessing the quality of trial design.3
Clinical Questions1-3
Background Questions
Looking for the basics
Who/What/Where/When/Why
Disease/Test/Treatment
Best answered by summary sources or text books
Foreground Questions
More experience with topic
Specific knowledge to inform practice
Text book sources may be out of date
Consider clinical guidelines, systematic reviews
A structured specific question will yield better search results - see PICO
P = patient, population, predicament, problem
I = Intervention, exposure, test, or other agent
C = comparison intervention, exposure, test
O = outcomes of clinical importance, including time when relevant
