Key Components of EBM
- One of the key components of Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM) is critical appraisal, which helps healthcare professionals to make informed decisions based on the best available evidence.
Examining a Study
- Critical appraisal examines a study's design, methods, and results to determine the strength of the evidence and its applicability to clinical practice.
