  1. EBM Dr. Nada AlYousefi April 25, 2012

  2. Motivation: EBM “Successes” • Theophylline and asthma • We were doing the wrong thing • Littenberg, 1988 • Beta blockers and MIs • We weren’t doing the right thing • Yusuf, 1987

  3. Uses of “EBM” • Use of empirically-verified treatments in the care of patients • Incorporation of research results into the process of care • Ability to critically appraise research results

  4. What is Evidence-Based Medicine? • “Theintegration of individual clinical expertise with the bestavailable clinical evidence from systematic research.” • David L Sackett, W Scott Richardson, William Rosenberg, R BrianHaynes Evidence Based Medicine--How to Practice and Teach EBM, 1996 • Various definitions

  5. About 10% of published evidence is worth reading About 1/3 of worthwhile evidence is eventually refuted or attenuated About 1/2 of relevant evidence is not implemented

  6. Steps of ebm 5A’s

  7. Critical: careful, exact evaluation and judgment Critically Appraise: To evaluate, & estimate the quality, amount of validity, results and applicability Appraised Topic Topic: A subject of discussion or conversation

  8. “Best Available Clinical Evidence” • Therapy • Double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trial • Diagnosis • Independent, blind comparison with a reference standard • Prognosis • Representative and well-defined prospective cohort of patients at a similar point in the course of disease • See Centre for Health Evidence

  9. Levels of Evidences • (I-1) a well done systematic review of 2 or more RCTs • (I-2) a RCT • (II-1) a cohort study • (II-2) a case-control study • (II-3) a dramatic uncontrolled experiment • (III) respected authorities, expert committees, etc.. • (IV) ...someone once told me.... • http://www.phru.org/casp/ • See also AAFP

  10. “Systematic Research” • “Meta-analysis” • “Literature synthesis” • From Michael Scriven

  11. Questions ARIF

  12. Questions: PICO Centre for EBM: http://163.1.212.5/docs/focusquest.html

  13. Should a 30-year-old woman with recurrent uncomplicated lower UTIs be advised to drink cranberry juice to prevent reinfection? For a 63 year old woman with Type 2 diabetes, is gabapentin superior to amitriptyline as first-line therapy for painful peripheral neuropathy? Problems

  14. Presentation will cover: • Relavance • PICO • search strategy • search results • the validity of this evidence • the importance of this valid evidence • can this valid, important evidence be applied to your patient

  15. Task • Well formulated question? • Formulate the query • Report back to us on your success • The whole group reports back in a week

  16. Search for the Best Evidence • Review articles • Community/professional standards • Systematic reviews • Original results

  33. Exercise • Use the MeSH Database to build a strategy that will find citations to references discussing the economics of community-acquired pneumonia.

  34. Exercise • Use the NLM Catalog Journal search page to see if PubMed includes the journal, Molecular Microbiology. If so, retrieve all PubMed citations from this journal.

  35. Exercise • Use the Clinical Queries to find systematic reviews for accidents caused by sleep deprivation.

  36. Search • What role does pain have in sleep disorders?

  37. Search • To search for citations to articles written by Bonnie W. Ramsey about gene therapy for cystic fibrosis
