Description

EVIDENCE BASED MEDICINE is the bible of EBM. Known as the ultimate authority on the subject, this text was written by the foremost experts in the field. Instead of basing medical decisions on tradition, this resource teaches doctors how to integrate individual clinical expertise with the available external evidence from systematic research to provide patients with the best possible care. Readers will be taught how to ask, translate, critically appraise, and integrate clinical questions. The book is packaged with a FREE CD-ROM containing extended descriptions and sample web pages of several current evidence sources.

    • Pocket introduction to a subject about which no modern doctor can afford to be ignorant.
  • Clear explanation of the central questions of EBM how to ask answerable clinical questions, how to translate them into effective searches for the best evidence, how to critically appraise that evidence for its validity and importance, and how to integrate it with patients values and preferences.
  • Now organised along the clinical perspectives of diagnosis, prognosis, therapy and the limitation of harm
    • New chapters on screening and guidelines
  • Chapters on evaluation and teaching rewritten and updated.
