    Study Notes

    Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM)

    • EBM originated in the late 1980s, and was first proposed in medical literature in 1991 as a new way of teaching the practice of medicine.
    • It was consolidated and named EBM in 1992 by a group led by Gordon Guyatt from McMaster University in Ontario, Canada.
    • EBM is a change in the way physicians practice medicine, teach, and learn, and handle research.

    Definition of EBM

    • EBM is the conscientious, explicit, and judicious use of current best evidence in helping individual patients make decisions about their care.
    • It integrates the experience of the clinician, the values of the patient, and the best available scientific information to guide decision-making about clinical management.
    • Conscientious means being careful and thorough, explicit means being up-front, open, and clear, and judicious means using good judgement and common sense.

    Need for EBM

    • Medical knowledge grows every day, and medical research is continually discovering improved treatment methods and therapies.
    • Practitioners must keep up to date with current research, but not all studies are equally well-designed, conducted, or interpreted.
    • Doctors lack the time to evaluate the value of each study, its methodology, outcome, and transparency.

    Five Basic Steps of EBM

    • Step 1: Clinical Question (ASK)
      • Framing the question using PICO/PECO (Patient, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome)
      • Examples: 47-year-old male with DM2 and cellulitis toe, 25-year-old female with DVT and chest pain
    • Step 2: Find Best Evidence (Acquire)
      • Filtered information resources: Cochrane Systematic Reviews, Non-Cochrane Systematic Reviews, Critically Appraised Articles
      • Unfiltered information resources: Journal Articles, Research articles found in journals (e.g., MEDLINE)
    • Step 3: Critical Appraisal (APPRAISE)
      • Evaluate evidence for quality and usefulness
      • Appraisal principles: PICO, methodology, bias, results, and relevance
    • Step 4: Apply the Evidence (Apply)
      • Implement useful findings in clinical practice
    • Step 5: Evaluate (Assess)
      • The information, intervention, and EBM process
