I am here to learn EBM because …. • I have no idea • I will be a practicing doctor • I will be working on researches • I will help others use evidence • I plan to teach EBM
Life long learning The hardest conviction to get into the mind of a beginner is that the education upon which he is engaged is not … a medical course, but a life course. For which the work of a few years under teachers …is preparation. Sir William Osler (1849-1919), from: The Student of MedicinePaul Glasziou , Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine University of Oxford
What kind of doctor would you become ? Smart young doctor William Osler, 1900 Paul Glasziou , Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine University of Oxford

EBM learning • What is Evidence-based practice? • Asking well-formulated Questions • Searching for evidence • Critical Appraisal • Diagnostic studies • Intervention studies • Prognostic studies
Introductory Lecture: Objectives 1. What • What is evidence-based medicine? • What does it look like in practice? 2. How • Formulate Clinical Questions • Search for Evidence • Appraisal of research • Apply to clinical problem
Patient Concerns Best research evidence Clinical Expertise EBM What is evidence-based medicine? “Evidence-based medicine is the integration of best research evidence available with clinical expertise and patient values” - Dave Sackett

Coping with the overload: three possible things you might try A. Read an evidence-based abstraction journal(and cancel other journals) B. Keep a logbook of your own clinical questions C. Run a case-discussion journalclub with your practice
Reminding : The 4 steps of “pull” EBM • Formulate an answerable question • Track down the best evidence • Critically appraise the evidence • Individualise, based clinical expertise and patient concerns
Step 1Formulate an answerable clinical question Structure of researchable questions – PICO-T • Population/Patients • Intervention • Comparison • Outcome • Time
What are your clinical questions? • A 35 year old man says his brother recently died of an acute myocardial infarction He is worried about whether he might have one and what the chances are that it would happen to him -> PICO Table
Types of question: stroke Cohort Study Inception Cohort Study Survey Frequency Prognosis Risk Factors ECG Angiography MRI Degenerative process in the Coronary artery Treatments Randomised Trial Treatment Effect Symptoms Signs, Tests Cause(s) Cross Sectional Study Past current future
3. Rapid Critical Appraisal It’s peer-reviewed, therefore it must be OK?
USE THE TOOLS WORKSHEET FOR EACH STUDY TYPES
Step 4: Applying to the individual • What do the results mean on average? • What do they mean for this individual?
