Evidence based medicine
“The conscientious, explicit and judicious use of current best evidence in making decisions about the care of individual patients. The practice of evidence-based medicine requires the integration of individual clinical expertise with the best available external clinical evidence from systematic research and our patient’s unique values and circumstances.”
Centre for EBM

Some reasons for EBM
• Increasing demand for high quality, effective and
efficient care
• Continuous improvements in diagnosis, treatment
and prevention of disease or unwanted health-
related outcomes
• Recognition that clinicians rarely spend more than
30 minutes a week keeping up-to-date

Clinicians (and managers) frequently have information overload
![Page 5: Identifying the evidence](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081603/568142bf550346895daf098a/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Traditional information sources often have problems
• Textbooks• Experts• Narrative reviews• Editorials• Medical journals
– out of date– wrong or selective– wrong or selective– wrong or selective– overwhelming volume /
irrelevant information
![Page 6: Identifying the evidence](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081603/568142bf550346895daf098a/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
We need new ways of getting and handling information
![Page 7: Identifying the evidence](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081603/568142bf550346895daf098a/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Approach depends on your information need
1. Identify and appraise original article(s)
2. Identify and appraise summary, review articles
3. Seek clinical guidance
4. Get regular relevant new information

1. Identify and appraise original article(s)
• Ask a friend or colleague

“The goal of this website is to help develop, disseminate, and evaluate resources that can be used to practise and teach EBM for undergraduate, postgraduate and continuing education for health care professionals from a variety of clinical disciplines.
This site also serves as a support for the book entitled, Evidence-based Medicine: How to practice and teach EBM by David L. Sackett, Sharon E. Straus, W. Scott Richardson, William Rosenberg, and R. Brian Haynes”.

Systematic review
A summary of the medical literature that uses explicit methods to perform a comprehensive literature search and critical appraisal of individual studies. If the results of the studies can be combined and summarized statistically, the systematic review is called a Meta-analysis.
