| | Evidence-based medicine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Evidence-based medicine (EBM) is a medical movement based upon the application of the scientific method to medical practice, recognizing that many long-established medical traditions are not yet subjected to adequate scientific scrutiny. | | | For example, the strongest evidence for therapeutic interventions is provided by randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials involving a homogeneous patient population and medical condition. | | | Although evidence-based medicine is quickly becoming the "gold standard" for clinical practice and treatment guidelines, there are a number of reasons why most current medical and surgical practices do not have a strong literature base supporting them. |

| | Evidence-based medicine de-emphasizes intuition, unsystematic clinical experience, and pathophysiologic rationale as sufficient grounds for clinical decision-making, and stresses the examination of evidence from clinical research. | | | Based on an awareness of the limitations of traditional determinants of clinical decisions, a new paradigm for medical practice has arisen. | | | The new paradigm would call for using the techniques of behavioral science to determine what patients are really looking for from their physicians [22], and how physician and patient behavior affects the outcome of care [23]. |

| | EBM is the use of: systematic observation of the clinical patient and the rules for empirical evidence to critically appraise and interpret information from clinical research (causation, prognosis, diagnostic tests, and treatment strategies) to apply to that individual patient. | | | Evidence-based (population-based) medicine (EBM): "An approach to practice in which the clinician is aware of the evidence in support of their clinical practice and the strength of that evidence" (McMaster). | | | To develop and apply basic skills of clinical epidemiology and evidence-based medicine, understanding and using many of these terms appropriately in the context of the clinical care of individual patients is necessary. |

| | Evidence based medicine is an approach to practicing medicine in which the clinician is aware of the evidence in support of clinical practice and the strength of that clinical evidence. | | | The EBM subset of literature reports on human research which evaluates the results of a particular therapy, the effectiveness of a diagnostic measure, the etiology of a disease process or the prognosis of a disease. | | | Searching the medical literature for evidence based medicine citations provides the clinician with a tool to make health care decisions which are based on sound data developed from preplanned, comparative studies. |

| | What Is Evidence-Based Medicine and Why Should It Be Practiced? |
| | Evidence-based medicine: a new approach to teaching the practice of medicine. | | | The practice of evidence-based medicine requires careful examination of the evidence, using a set of formal rules applied in an explicit manner, followed by its judicious application to decision-making, with an understanding of the patient context and values. | | | As a result, estimates of treatment benefit based on observational studies focusing on outcomes that are important to patients are also dangerous. |

| | About Evidence-based medicine |
| | The Cochrane Collaboration promotes evidence-based health care by identifying, appraising, summarising and disseminating the most reliable evidence about the effects of health care. | | | Unfortunately, people are often not aware of the evidence that is available, the evidence is disorganised and inaccessible, or appropriate evidence does not exist. | | | To make well-informed decisions about health care clinicians, policy makers, funders and patients need access to reliable evidence about the effects of health care interventions. |
