    Study Notes

    Evidence-Based Veterinary Medicine

    • Evidence-based medicine originates from clinical epidemiologists at McMaster University in the late 1970s, led by David Sackett, who introduced the term "critical appraisal" for evidence-based reading of clinical journals.
    • Gordon Guyatt, a member of the McMaster group, introduced formal teaching of evidence-based medicine into postgraduate medical training.
    • Evidence-based medicine is based on knowledge and understanding of medical literature supporting clinical decisions, encompassing various forms of evidence including clinical signs, history, laboratory tests, and randomized controlled trials.
    • Evidence-based medicine requires the accumulation of new skills and the use of tools to find, appraise, and apply evidence to patient care.
    • Peter Cockcroft, a lecturer in farm animal medicine at the University of Cambridge, is a coauthor of the 'Handbook of Evidence-Based Veterinary Medicine.'
    • Veterinary evidence-based medicine faces different constraints and pressures compared to human medicine, with fewer resources and evidence available.
    • The value of evidence in veterinary medicine is directly proportional to the statistical power of the study, influencing the ability to detect effects.
    • A hierarchy of evidence, based on the strengths of different study designs, allows for answering specific research questions.
    • Clinical decision-making in veterinary medicine relies on evidence that is less easy to establish and appraise compared to human medicine.
    • Despite difficulties, evidence-based veterinary medicine is important due to the potential for improving veterinary practice and the availability of information technology.
    • Developments in information technology have made evidence-based veterinary medicine possible, enabling easy access to millions of papers and facilitating research.
    • Effective communication of evidence helps clients make informed decisions and avoid unrealistic expectations in veterinary practice.
