Slide3Relevance of Evidence-Based Medicine

Slide4Why Do We Need Evidence-Based Medicine?
Continuous growth of evidence that is available to guide clinical decisions. Growth is at a rapid pace. Better understanding of the ways to produce valid clinical research as a result of improvements in research design, clinical measurements, and methods used to analyze data.
Many published study results are false or have misleading conclusions, despite advances in research methods.
Many health care providers including doctors, do not practice medicine according to the best current research evidence.

Slide6Definition of Evidence Based Medicine
Evidence Based Medicine (EBM) is the conscientious, explicit, and judicious use of the current best evidence in making decisions about the care of individual patients.These decisions include for example clinical decisions about the choice of test or treatment for individual patients as well as policy decisions for populations.
EBM is an integration of clinical expertise , best available research evidence, and patients values and preferences.
EBM gives healthcare decisions a structured that help healthcare professionals as well as patients in choosing the best available healthcare interventions for the outcomes they are looking for.

Slide7EBM Process
7
Slide8Basic Elements of EBM
To formulate a clinical questionTo find the best available evidence
To assess the validity of the evidence (appraisal/evaluation of the data)
To apply the evidence in practice, in addition to clinical expertise and patient preferences
8
Slide91. Formulate a Clinical Question
Several questions arise in clinical practice. Examples include: Is the finding abnormal?
What is the diagnosis?
How often does it occur?
What are the risk factors for a disease?
How effective is the treatment? How harmful is the treatment?
How effective are preventive measures? How harmful are preventive measures?
9
Slide10PICO
The Mnemonic PICO is usually used to respond to clinical questions related to diagnosis, prognosis or effectiveness of a specific intervention (test or a treatment). For Example, in evaluating the effectiveness of an intervention, PICO stands for:
P
: What is the relevant
patient
population?
I
: What
intervention
is being considered?
C
: What is the
comparison
intervention or patient population?
O
: What
outcomes
are of interest?

Slide12PICOTT
PICO can be extended to PICOTTP: What is the relevant
patient
population?
I
: What
intervention
is being considered?
C
: What is the
comparison
intervention or patient population?
O
: What
outcomes
are of interest?
T
: what is the type of the question? Therapy/Diagnosis/Harm/Prognosis/Prevention
T
: What is the type o the study? Systematic Review/Randomized Controlled Trial/ Cohort Study/Case Control

Slide132. Find The Best Available Evidence
Three main categories of Evidence:Primary original research:
it involves data collected from individuals or clusters of individuals.
Systematic reviews:
they scientifically structured reviews and not simple traditional reviews. This takes into consideration the method used by the authors to find relevant articles, judgment of the scientific quality of each study considered, and weighing evidence from different studies with conflicting results.
Summaries and guidelines:
these represent the highest levels of complexity. Guidelines are a synthesis of systematic reviews, original research, clinical expertise and patient preferences.
13
Slide14Sources for Evidence
Online Summary Resources: UpToDate,
DynaMed
Clinical Practice Guidelines: Clinical Evidence, Best Practice, US National Guidelines Clearinghouse
Synopsis of Systematic Reviews:
ACP Journal Club, McMaster
PLUS
, Cochrane
Sources for Non Pre-appraisal Research:
PubMed
, MEDLINE
14
Slide153. Assess the Validity of the Evidence
Internal Validity: it refers to the question of whether the results of clinical research are correct for the patients studied. Threats to internal validity are bias and chance.External Validity: it refers to the question of whether the results of the study apply to patients outside the study.
15
Slide164. Apply Evidence to Practice
Responding to the clinical raised question after conducting the structured analysis of available data.
16
Slide17From Evidence to Practice
Strength of Recommendation
Definition
Implications for Practice
A
Recommendation based on consistent and good quality patient-oriented
evidence
You should do this unless there is a
compelling reason not to.
B
Recommendation based on inconsistent or limited quality patient-oriented
evidence
You should strongly consider doing this.
C
Recommendation based on consensus, usual practice, opinion, disease- oriented
evidence, and case series for studies of diagnosis, treatment,
prevention, or screening.
The evidence that this improves patient
outcomes is weaker for this
recommendation.
