Evidence Based Medicine provides a clear explanation of the central questions: 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.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 May 2013Verified Purchase
The focus of this book is on helping the student or practitioner to use evidence from clinical research in their practice, and help others in turn to use it. The style is friendly and personal, as colleague to colleague. The thinking is reflective and encourages reflection in the reader. The use of evidence in different aspects of patient care - therapy, diagnosis, screening, prognosis, etc - are discussed separately. Many clinical scenarios help to explain concepts as they are introduced. A section is devoted to issues and ideas in teaching the subject.
The student would have to look elsewhere for ideas of basic statistics, but measures and techniques valuable in EBM - such as NNT, ARR, nomograms, forestplots - are all introduced and appraised. Criteria for acceptable clinical trials and systematic reviews are held up for scrutiny.
It is so well written that this seems to be a book to read with pleasure, rather than use for reference. That said, the contents and index are clear and a good glossary of terms is provided. Moreover it comes in a robust, small format to fit easily in a lab-coat pocket, and includes a CD with the contents in digital form.
Most importantly, it has the feel of an ongoing project: the authors are intent on leaving the readers with an understanding, not just a knowledge, of the state of development of the subject.

Evidence-based medicine: how to practice and teach it
Reviewed in the United States on 12 April 2011Verified Purchase
This is an excellent book, whether learning evidence-based medicine (EBM) for the first time, reviewing concepts, or learning how to incorporate EBM into your curriculum. Great for medicine or allied health disciplines (PA, PT, nursing, etc.) as the concepts are the same. Great up-to-date resources also available in book. This book will certainly help you improve and keep current in your patient care.

Es la 4ª edición de un libro clásico e imprescindible. Sin embargo tiene un inconveniente grave: el CD que incluye es mini y no se puede introducir en los lectores que no son de bandeja abierta.
