23 January 2015 7Evidence Based Medicine
William Osler (1849 -1919)
First “attending physician” at Johns Hopkins
Author of hugely influential textbook, 'The
Principles and Practice of Medicine'
believed that most drugs in his day were
useless, but still advocated blood-letting
in some cases
23 January 2015 8Evidence Based Medicine
Bloodletting today
Today phlebotomy therapy is primarily used in Western
medicine for a few conditions such as
hemochromatosis, polycythemia vera, and porphyria
cutanea tarda.
Why did it persist?
It resulted from the dynamic interaction of social,
economic, and intellectual pressures, a process that
continues to determine medical practice
23 January 2015 9Evidence Based Medicine
But….
We practice EBM today
23 January 2015 10Evidence Based Medicine
Patient: Mr. A
Mr. A is a 60 year old presenting with
1 hour of retrosternal chest pain.
ECG shows lateral ST-elevation consistent with acute
MI.
QUESTION: In patients with acute MI,
does treatment with aspirin reduce mortality?
What is the best evidence?
23 January 2015 11Evidence Based Medicine
Evidence: 1988
• Reduction of mortality in acute myocardial infarction
with streptokinase and aspirin therapy. Results:
– Patients with acute MI treated with Aspirin vs.
placebo had a significant 23% relative risk
reduction in five-week cardiovascular mortality,
with an absolute risk reduction of 11.8% to 9.4%
– The combination of SK and Aspirin resulted in a
42% relative risk reduction in cardiovascular
mortality after five weeks compared with the
placebo
23 January 2015 12Evidence Based Medicine
Application: 1997
• How many patients receive ASA following acute
myocardial infarction?
– Aspirin was not given to 55%!!!
– 78% of patients who did receive aspirin received it
more than 30 minutes after arrival to the
emergency department.
Annals of Intern Medicine. Jul 1997;127(2):12623 January 2015 13Evidence Based Medicine
• But as late as 2000, even in the US, aspirin was being
prescribed for at most one third of patients with
coronary artery disease (for whom there were no
contraindications to its use)
• Relatively simple, and cheap practices shows that we
have a problem in getting providers to apply knowledge
gained through research
• The paradigm for the translation of new information
from research bench to bedside has been conceptualized
as a “translational highway”.
23 January 2015 14Evidence Based Medicine
What is evidence-based medicine?
“Evidence-based medicine is the integration of best
research evidence with clinical expertise and patient
values”
- David Sackett
• “Explicit, judicious, and conscientious use of current
best evidence from medical care research to make
decisions about the medical care of individuals”
23 January 2015 15Evidence Based Medicine

23 January 2015 16Evidence Based Medicine
Evidence-based health-care practice
• The integration of:
– individual clinical expertise
– best available external clinical evidence from
systematic research
Evidence Based Medicine 1723 January 2015
I - Individual clinical expertise
• Skills
• Judgement
– which individual health care workers acquire
through
– clinical experience and clinical practice
Evidence Based Medicine 1823 January 2015
II - Best available clinical evidence
• Clinically relevant research derived from:
– basic medical sciences and
– patient-centred clinical research into the safety
and efficacy of therapeutic interventions.
– Systematic Reviews
Evidence Based Medicine 1923 January 2015
Why is EBM important?
 New types of evidence are being generated which
can create changes in the way patients are treated
 Although evidence is needed on a daily basis, usually
physicians don’t get it.
How much is actually being applied to patient
care?
lack of time
out-of-date textbooks
the disorganization of the up-to-date journals

Evolution of EBM
Pre EBM: Passive diffusion (“publish it and they
will come”)
Early EBM: Pull diffusion (“teach them to read it
and they will come”)
Current EBM: Push diffusion (“read it for them
and send it to them”)
Future EBM: Prompt diffusion (“read it for them,
connect it to their individual patients”)

Some milestones in the history of EBM
23 January 2015 27Evidence Based Medicine
An EBM Approach to Education
• Evidence cart on ward rounds - 1995
• Looked up 2-3 questions per patient
• Took 15-90 seconds to find
• Change about 1/3 decision
David Sackett
23 January 2015 28Evidence Based Medicine
Prof Archibald Cochrane, CBE
(1909 - 1988)
• The Cochrane Collaboration is
named in honor of Archie
Cochrane, a British researcher.
• In 1979 he wrote, "It is surely a
great criticism of our profession
that we have not organized a
critical summary, by specialty or
subspecialty, adapted
periodically, of all relevant
randomized controlled trials”
23 January 2015 29Evidence Based Medicine
Why the sudden interest in EBM?
• Increasing realization among clinicians that years of
experience unaccompanied by updating of
knowledge can result in decline of clinical
performance
• The need for valid information about diagnosis,
therapy, prognosis, and prevention in this era of
consumer activism
23 January 2015 30Evidence Based Medicine
• The common man has access to the very same
medical literature as the clinicians through numerous
sources
• Limited time available to the clinician for acquiring
information is a major impediment for updating the
knowledge from traditional sources
23 January 2015 31Evidence Based Medicine
Assumptions of evidence-based practices
• Not all evidence is equivalent
• There is a hierarchy of study design
• External evidence can inform but can never replace
individual clinical expertise (Sackett et al., 1996)
• Starting from the best external evidence and work
from there.
• Values always influence decisions
23 January 2015 32Evidence Based Medicine
Where do we go for
help with
decisions when
we are not sure
how to proceed?
23 January 2015 Evidence Based Medicine
Decision making in clinical practice
using evidence
Decision-making is the cognitive process resulting in
the selection of a course of action among several
alternative possibilities
23 January 2015 Evidence Based Medicine
The Evidence Pyramid

23 January 2015 42Evidence Based Medicine
How evidence affects clinicians
•Happy !!!
•I am the best !!!
•Will the patient recover or
not??
•Will they sue me??
•What about my reputation ??
23 January 2015 43Evidence Based Medicine
23 January 2015 44Evidence Based Medicine
Think 100 times before refuting an old
time tested method of treatment
• Classic example is vaginal hysterectomy for benign
diseases
• “Give me 2 retractors, 2 scissors , 2 clamps, one
tissue holding forceps and one needle holder, I will do
a vaginal hysterectomy in any setup”
Surgeon
23 January 2015 45Evidence Based Medicine
Laparoscopic hysterectomy setup
23 January 2015 46Evidence Based Medicine
• New developments ( unnecessary) in minimally invasive
surgery
• Studies sponsored by pharma companies
• Use of meshes in different clinical conditions
• Mesh Erosion in bladder or bowel, infection or rejection
of mesh, vaginal pain or painful intercourse, groin
infection/abscess, extrusion , obstruction , voiding
dysfunction and erosion.

23 January 2015 53Evidence Based Medicine
Step-1
Clinical Scenario :
• 12 years old only male child
• admitted to ICU
• history of accidental ingestion of OP compound 4
hours back
• On admission the patient was comatose but
hemodynamically stable
23 January 2015 54Evidence Based Medicine
• The anaesthesiologist used his past experience,
knowledge, skill & expertise and treated the patient
with an infusion of atropine
• Inspite of that patient developed respiratory
paralysis in the next 2 hours
• The clinician used his expertise puts him on
mechanical ventilation
23 January 2015 55Evidence Based Medicine
• Now, the consultant understands the gap in his
knowledge & he identifies the same.
• The consultant wanted to administer Inj Pralidoxime.
• But he was not sure of the dosage and the mode of
administration (a single bolus dose or an infusion).
23 January 2015 56Evidence Based Medicine
• ‘P’ — Patient Problem: How would I describe a group
of patients similar to mine?
In this clinical situation it is a male pediatric patient (12
years) who has developed organophosphorous
poisoning following its ingestion.
• ‘ I ’ — Intervention strategy: Which main intervention,
prognostic factor or exposure am I considering?
Here the intervention is the therapy with Pralidoxime in
optimum dosage.
23 January 2015 57Evidence Based Medicine
• ‘C’ — Comparison: What is the main alternative to
compare with the intervention?
In his patient the clinical dilemma pertains to the
dosage and mode of administration of Pralidoxime
(low dose infusion vs. single large bolus dose)
• ‘O’ — (Outcome): - What can I hope to accomplish?
Recovery from OP poisoning and decrease in
morbidity & mortality
23 January 2015 58Evidence Based Medicine
Step-2 Literature Search
• ‘Traditional’ print resources like textbooks or
journals
• ‘Browse’ online electronic databases
23 January 2015 59Evidence Based Medicine
Step 3 - Critical Appraisal of the Literature
1. Screening for internal validity and relevance
2. Determining the intent of the article
3.Evaluating the validity based on its intent
23 January 2015 60Evidence Based Medicine
• The article that was tracked down is Prospective
randomized placebo controlled clinical trial of
Pralidoxime in two similar groups of patients.
(Control group-low dose and study group-high dose)
• Block randomization was used
• The investigators were not blinded
23 January 2015 61Evidence Based Medicine
• The intent of the article is to evaluate two treatment
regimes of PAM in the management of OP poisoning
• The next thing to determine is the strength of the
outcome. How large was the treatment effect?
• Low dose group fared better than high dose group
23 January 2015 62Evidence Based Medicine
• PAM is a very expensive imported drug requiring
considerable amount off foreign exchange and there
are difficulties in procuring it.
• It is imperative for the clinician to find a cost-
effective
• and yet effective treatment.
• Patient’s father, being a primary school teacher,
cannot afford the exuberant cost of the drug.
• The out come of this research study is very much
relevant and beneficial in solving the clinical dilemma
23 January 2015 63Evidence Based Medicine
Step 4 –Integrating the Evidence with Clinical
Expertise and Patient Values
• The best documented critically appraised research
evidence is already with the clinician
• Take into consideration the patient values for example:
The patient is a precious, lone male child of the
parents.
The economical/financial status of the parents does not
permit expensive therapies
No contraindications for the drug to be administrated
Low dose regime requiring 1/16 of the high dose has better
effect
23 January 2015 64Evidence Based Medicine
Step 5 – Evaluating the Process
• Was he able to formulate a focused question?
• Was he able to devise a precise search strategy for
locating the evidence?
• Did he use the most appropriate resource?
• Were more pertinent resources like practice guidelines
available to him?
• Did the ‘evidence’ work in his patient?
• The clinician should document the outcomes of the
application of the evidence and based on his experiences
• Those of his colleagues should be able develop
management protocols
23 January 2015 65Evidence Based Medicine
What are the benefits of adopting EBM?
• Minimize the errors in patient care
• Reduces the cost of treatment to the patient
• Optimizes the quality of patient care
• Skills learnt in practicing EBM are the very same ones
needed for being a lifelong, self-directed learner
• Habit of accessing literature on a daily basis is the
best guarantor of ensuring advancement of
knowledge and keeping abreast of scientific progress
23 January 2015 66Evidence Based Medicine
EBM Misconceptions
FALLACY FACT
EBM is useless when
there is no good
evidence
EBM means
appropriately using the
best available evidence
to care for patients
EBM is algorithms that
ignore clinical
judgment/expertise
Clinical judgment must be
used in deciding how to
apply the evidence
EBM is just numbers
and statistics
EBM is not numbers in a
vacuum – the evidence
must be individualized to
each patient23 January 2015 67Evidence Based Medicine
Who benefits?
 Practitioners current knowledge to assist with
decision making
 Researchers reduced duplication
identify research gaps
 Community recipients of evidence-based interventions
 Funders identify research gaps/priorities
 Policy maker current knowledge to assist with policy
formulation
23 January 2015 68Evidence Based Medicine
Evidence-based Public Health
• “The development, implementation, and evaluation of
effective programs and policies in public health through
application of principles of scientific reasoning, including
systematic uses of data and information systems, and
appropriate use of behavioral science theory and
program planning models”
Source: Brownson, R.C. et al, Evidence-based public health, Oxford University Press, 2003.
23 January 2015 69Evidence Based Medicine
Clinical vs. Public health interventions
Clinical
• Individuals
• Single interventions
• Outcomes only (generally)
• Often limited consumer input
• Quantitative approaches to
research and evaluation
Public health
• Populations and
communities
• Combinations of strategies
• Processes as well as
outcomes
• Involve community members
in design and evaluation
• Qualitative and quantitative
• Health promotion theories
and beliefs

Conclusion
• Medicine is not an exact science, but a science of
probability
• The challenge to physicians is to provide up to-date
medical care
• The ultimate goal for clinicians should be to help
patients live long, functional, satisfying, and pain and
symptom free life
• By adopting the principles of Evidence Based
Medicine, it will be possible to maximize the benefits
of scientific research for patient care
23 January 2015 Evidence Based Medicine 75
• Medical educators and medical colleges have the
singular responsibility of indoctrinating the principles
of EBM
as a concept,
a philosophy,
a religion necessary for being efficient,
compassionate, caring, and responsible clinician
among the future physicians during their formative
years of training

  • 5. Bloodletting 3000years ago Egyptians, Greeks then Romans, Arabs and so on. The cure for (hot, moist diseases) several medical conditions. Galen was able to propagate his ideas through the force of personality and the power of the pen23 January 2015 5Evidence Based Medicine
  • 6. Pierre Louis (1787-1872) Inventor of the “numeric method” and the “method of observation” French physician who wanted to analyze the efficacy of bloodletting in the treatment of acute pneumonia Examined the clinical course and outcomes of 77 patients 23 January 2015 6Evidence Based Medicine
  • 7. Overall Results (n=77) “Experimental” oup Comparision Group Absolute Risk Reduction Bled Early Phase Bled Late Phase Difference Mortality 44% 25% - 19% Conclusion: Effect of bloodletting procedure was actually much less helpful than has been commonly believed 23 January 2015 7Evidence Based Medicine
  • 8. William Osler (1849 -1919) First “attending physician” at Johns Hopkins Author of hugely influential textbook, 'The Principles and Practice of Medicine' believed that most drugs in his day were useless, but still advocated blood-letting in some cases 23 January 2015 8Evidence Based Medicine
  • 9. Bloodletting today Today phlebotomy therapy is primarily used in Western medicine for a few conditions such as hemochromatosis, polycythemia vera, and porphyria cutanea tarda. Why did it persist? It resulted from the dynamic interaction of social, economic, and intellectual pressures, a process that continues to determine medical practice 23 January 2015 9Evidence Based Medicine
  • 10. But…. We practice EBM today 23 January 2015 10Evidence Based Medicine
  • 11. Patient: Mr. A Mr. A is a 60 year old presenting with 1 hour of retrosternal chest pain. ECG shows lateral ST-elevation consistent with acute MI. QUESTION: In patients with acute MI, does treatment with aspirin reduce mortality? What is the best evidence? 23 January 2015 11Evidence Based Medicine
  • 12. Evidence: 1988 • Reduction of mortality in acute myocardial infarction with streptokinase and aspirin therapy. Results: – Patients with acute MI treated with Aspirin vs. placebo had a significant 23% relative risk reduction in five-week cardiovascular mortality, with an absolute risk reduction of 11.8% to 9.4% – The combination of SK and Aspirin resulted in a 42% relative risk reduction in cardiovascular mortality after five weeks compared with the placebo 23 January 2015 12Evidence Based Medicine
  • 13. Application: 1997 • How many patients receive ASA following acute myocardial infarction? – Aspirin was not given to 55%!!! – 78% of patients who did receive aspirin received it more than 30 minutes after arrival to the emergency department. Annals of Intern Medicine. Jul 1997;127(2):12623 January 2015 13Evidence Based Medicine
  • 14. • But as late as 2000, even in the US, aspirin was being prescribed for at most one third of patients with coronary artery disease (for whom there were no contraindications to its use) • Relatively simple, and cheap practices shows that we have a problem in getting providers to apply knowledge gained through research • The paradigm for the translation of new information from research bench to bedside has been conceptualized as a “translational highway”. 23 January 2015 14Evidence Based Medicine
  • 15. What is evidence-based medicine? “Evidence-based medicine is the integration of best research evidence with clinical expertise and patient values” - David Sackett • “Explicit, judicious, and conscientious use of current best evidence from medical care research to make decisions about the medical care of individuals” 23 January 2015 15Evidence Based Medicine
  • 16. EBM - What is it? Clinical Expertise Research Evidence Patient Preferences 23 January 2015 16Evidence Based Medicine
  • 17. Evidence-based health-care practice • The integration of: – individual clinical expertise – best available external clinical evidence from systematic research Evidence Based Medicine 1723 January 2015
  • 18. I - Individual clinical expertise • Skills • Judgement – which individual health care workers acquire through – clinical experience and clinical practice Evidence Based Medicine 1823 January 2015
  • 19. II - Best available clinical evidence • Clinically relevant research derived from: – basic medical sciences and – patient-centred clinical research into the safety and efficacy of therapeutic interventions. – Systematic Reviews Evidence Based Medicine 1923 January 2015
  • 20. Why is EBM important?  New types of evidence are being generated which can create changes in the way patients are treated  Although evidence is needed on a daily basis, usually physicians don’t get it. How much is actually being applied to patient care? lack of time out-of-date textbooks the disorganization of the up-to-date journals 23 January 2015 20Evidence Based Medicine
  • 21. Importance of EBM for practicing clinicians? TIME AVAILABLE TO READ: Less than 1 Hour per Week TIME NEEDED TO KEEP CURRENT ON GENERAL MEDICINE: 19 Articles per DAY 365 Days per Year Source: Davidoff F, Haynes B, Sackett D, Smith R. BMJ. 1995;310:1085-1086. 21Evidence Based Medicine
  • 22. Evidence increasing so rapidly we need better skills to keep up- to-date more efficiently than previous generations of clinicians 23 January 2015 22Evidence Based Medicine

  • 24. Time-poor clinician suffering from Information Overload 23 January 2015 24Evidence Based Medicine
  • 25. Gets worse with “duration in practice” 23 January 2015 25Evidence Based Medicine
  • 26. Evolution of EBM Pre EBM: Passive diffusion (“publish it and they will come”) Early EBM: Pull diffusion (“teach them to read it and they will come”) Current EBM: Push diffusion (“read it for them and send it to them”) Future EBM: Prompt diffusion (“read it for them, connect it to their individual patients”) 23 January 2015 26Evidence Based Medicine
  • 27. For I once saved one group by it, while I intentionally neglected another group. By doing that, I wished to reach a conclusion . Al-Rhazi 900 AD 1780 1840 1937/48 1967 1970’s Alvan Feinstein publishes his book Clinical Judgement James Lind publishes review & clinical trial in Treatise on Scurvy Pierre Louis Develops his “numerical method” and changes blood letting practice in France Bradford-Hill publishes Principles of Medical Statistics & MRC trial of streptomycin Some milestones in the history of EBM 23 January 2015 27Evidence Based Medicine
  • 28. An EBM Approach to Education • Evidence cart on ward rounds - 1995 • Looked up 2-3 questions per patient • Took 15-90 seconds to find • Change about 1/3 decision David Sackett 23 January 2015 28Evidence Based Medicine
  • 29. Prof Archibald Cochrane, CBE (1909 - 1988) • The Cochrane Collaboration is named in honor of Archie Cochrane, a British researcher. • In 1979 he wrote, "It is surely a great criticism of our profession that we have not organized a critical summary, by specialty or subspecialty, adapted periodically, of all relevant randomized controlled trials” 23 January 2015 29Evidence Based Medicine
  • 30. Why the sudden interest in EBM? • Increasing realization among clinicians that years of experience unaccompanied by updating of knowledge can result in decline of clinical performance • The need for valid information about diagnosis, therapy, prognosis, and prevention in this era of consumer activism 23 January 2015 30Evidence Based Medicine
  • 31. • The common man has access to the very same medical literature as the clinicians through numerous sources • Limited time available to the clinician for acquiring information is a major impediment for updating the knowledge from traditional sources 23 January 2015 31Evidence Based Medicine
  • 32. Assumptions of evidence-based practices • Not all evidence is equivalent • There is a hierarchy of study design • External evidence can inform but can never replace individual clinical expertise (Sackett et al., 1996) • Starting from the best external evidence and work from there. • Values always influence decisions 23 January 2015 32Evidence Based Medicine
  • 33. Where do we go for help with decisions when we are not sure how to proceed? 23 January 2015 Evidence Based Medicine
  • 34. Decision making in clinical practice using evidence Decision-making is the cognitive process resulting in the selection of a course of action among several alternative possibilities 23 January 2015 Evidence Based Medicine
  • 35. The Evidence Pyramid 23 January 2015 35Evidence Based Medicine
  • 36. Type of Question Suggested best type of Study Therapy RCT>cohort > case control > case series Diagnosis Prospective, blind comparison to a gold standard Etiology/Harm RCT > cohort > case control > case series Prognosis Cohort study > case control > case series Prevention RCT>cohort study > case control > case series Clinical Exam Prospective, blind comparison to gold standard Cost Economic analysis Identifying the Best Study 23 January 2015 36Evidence Based Medicine

  • 41. Outcome – the only thing that matters 23 January 2015 41Evidence Based Medicine
  • 42. What EBM additionally provides is Opportunity for change Opportunity for better treatment 23 January 2015 42Evidence Based Medicine
  • 43. How evidence affects clinicians •Happy !!! •I am the best !!! •Will the patient recover or not?? •Will they sue me?? •What about my reputation ?? 23 January 2015 43Evidence Based Medicine
  • 44. 23 January 2015 44Evidence Based Medicine
  • 45. Think 100 times before refuting an old time tested method of treatment • Classic example is vaginal hysterectomy for benign diseases • “Give me 2 retractors, 2 scissors , 2 clamps, one tissue holding forceps and one needle holder, I will do a vaginal hysterectomy in any setup” Surgeon 23 January 2015 45Evidence Based Medicine
  • 46. Laparoscopic hysterectomy setup 23 January 2015 46Evidence Based Medicine
  • 47. • New developments ( unnecessary) in minimally invasive surgery • Studies sponsored by pharma companies • Use of meshes in different clinical conditions • Mesh Erosion in bladder or bowel, infection or rejection of mesh, vaginal pain or painful intercourse, groin infection/abscess, extrusion , obstruction , voiding dysfunction and erosion. 23 January 2015 47Evidence Based Medicine

  • 49. Changes should be like this 23 January 2015 49Evidence Based Medicine
  • 50. The Five-Step Approach to Practicing EBM • Step 1- Framing a Proper, Pertinent, Focused and Answerable Question • Step 2 - Searching the Literature • Step 3 - Critical Appraisal of the Literature • Step 4 –Integrating the Evidence with Clinical Expertise and Patient Values • Step 5 – Evaluating the Process23 January 2015 50Evidence Based Medicine
  • 51. Acquire the best evidence Appraise the evidence Apply evidence to patient care Assess your patient Ask clinical questions EBM Method 23 January 2015 51Evidence Based Medicine
  • 52. Answerable questions EFFECTIVENESS A description of the populations P An identified intervention I An explicit comparison C Relevant outcomes O 23 January 2015 52Evidence Based Medicine
  • 53. Ask Clinical Questions Patient/ Population Outcome Intervention/ Exposure Comparison Components of Clinical Questions In patients with acute MI In post- menopausal women In women with suspected coronary disease does early treat- ment with a statin what is the accuracy of exercise ECHO does hormone replacement therapy compared to placebo compared to exercise ECG compared to no HRT decrease cardio- vascular mortality? for diagnosing significant CAD? increase the risk of breast cancer? 23 January 2015 53Evidence Based Medicine
  • 54. Step-1 Clinical Scenario : • 12 years old only male child • admitted to ICU • history of accidental ingestion of OP compound 4 hours back • On admission the patient was comatose but hemodynamically stable 23 January 2015 54Evidence Based Medicine
  • 55. • The anaesthesiologist used his past experience, knowledge, skill & expertise and treated the patient with an infusion of atropine • Inspite of that patient developed respiratory paralysis in the next 2 hours • The clinician used his expertise puts him on mechanical ventilation 23 January 2015 55Evidence Based Medicine
  • 56. • Now, the consultant understands the gap in his knowledge & he identifies the same. • The consultant wanted to administer Inj Pralidoxime. • But he was not sure of the dosage and the mode of administration (a single bolus dose or an infusion). 23 January 2015 56Evidence Based Medicine
  • 57. • ‘P’ — Patient Problem: How would I describe a group of patients similar to mine? In this clinical situation it is a male pediatric patient (12 years) who has developed organophosphorous poisoning following its ingestion. • ‘ I ’ — Intervention strategy: Which main intervention, prognostic factor or exposure am I considering? Here the intervention is the therapy with Pralidoxime in optimum dosage. 23 January 2015 57Evidence Based Medicine
  • 58. • ‘C’ — Comparison: What is the main alternative to compare with the intervention? In his patient the clinical dilemma pertains to the dosage and mode of administration of Pralidoxime (low dose infusion vs. single large bolus dose) • ‘O’ — (Outcome): - What can I hope to accomplish? Recovery from OP poisoning and decrease in morbidity & mortality 23 January 2015 58Evidence Based Medicine
  • 59. Step-2 Literature Search • ‘Traditional’ print resources like textbooks or journals • ‘Browse’ online electronic databases 23 January 2015 59Evidence Based Medicine
  • 60. Step 3 - Critical Appraisal of the Literature 1. Screening for internal validity and relevance 2. Determining the intent of the article 3.Evaluating the validity based on its intent 23 January 2015 60Evidence Based Medicine
  • 61. • The article that was tracked down is Prospective randomized placebo controlled clinical trial of Pralidoxime in two similar groups of patients. (Control group-low dose and study group-high dose) • Block randomization was used • The investigators were not blinded 23 January 2015 61Evidence Based Medicine
  • 62. • The intent of the article is to evaluate two treatment regimes of PAM in the management of OP poisoning • The next thing to determine is the strength of the outcome. How large was the treatment effect? • Low dose group fared better than high dose group 23 January 2015 62Evidence Based Medicine
  • 63. • PAM is a very expensive imported drug requiring considerable amount off foreign exchange and there are difficulties in procuring it. • It is imperative for the clinician to find a cost- effective • and yet effective treatment. • Patient’s father, being a primary school teacher, cannot afford the exuberant cost of the drug. • The out come of this research study is very much relevant and beneficial in solving the clinical dilemma 23 January 2015 63Evidence Based Medicine
  • 64. Step 4 –Integrating the Evidence with Clinical Expertise and Patient Values • The best documented critically appraised research evidence is already with the clinician • Take into consideration the patient values for example: The patient is a precious, lone male child of the parents. The economical/financial status of the parents does not permit expensive therapies No contraindications for the drug to be administrated Low dose regime requiring 1/16 of the high dose has better effect 23 January 2015 64Evidence Based Medicine
  • 65. Step 5 – Evaluating the Process • Was he able to formulate a focused question? • Was he able to devise a precise search strategy for locating the evidence? • Did he use the most appropriate resource? • Were more pertinent resources like practice guidelines available to him? • Did the ‘evidence’ work in his patient? • The clinician should document the outcomes of the application of the evidence and based on his experiences • Those of his colleagues should be able develop management protocols 23 January 2015 65Evidence Based Medicine
  • 66. What are the benefits of adopting EBM? • Minimize the errors in patient care • Reduces the cost of treatment to the patient • Optimizes the quality of patient care • Skills learnt in practicing EBM are the very same ones needed for being a lifelong, self-directed learner • Habit of accessing literature on a daily basis is the best guarantor of ensuring advancement of knowledge and keeping abreast of scientific progress 23 January 2015 66Evidence Based Medicine
  • 67. EBM Misconceptions FALLACY FACT EBM is useless when there is no good evidence EBM means appropriately using the best available evidence to care for patients EBM is algorithms that ignore clinical judgment/expertise Clinical judgment must be used in deciding how to apply the evidence EBM is just numbers and statistics EBM is not numbers in a vacuum – the evidence must be individualized to each patient23 January 2015 67Evidence Based Medicine
  • 68. Who benefits?  Practitioners current knowledge to assist with decision making  Researchers reduced duplication identify research gaps  Community recipients of evidence-based interventions  Funders identify research gaps/priorities  Policy maker current knowledge to assist with policy formulation 23 January 2015 68Evidence Based Medicine

  • 75. Conclusion • Medicine is not an exact science, but a science of probability • The challenge to physicians is to provide up to-date medical care • The ultimate goal for clinicians should be to help patients live long, functional, satisfying, and pain and symptom free life • By adopting the principles of Evidence Based Medicine, it will be possible to maximize the benefits of scientific research for patient care 23 January 2015 Evidence Based Medicine 75
  • 76. • Medical educators and medical colleges have the singular responsibility of indoctrinating the principles of EBM as a concept, a philosophy, a religion necessary for being efficient, compassionate, caring, and responsible clinician among the future physicians during their formative years of training 23 January 2015 Evidence Based Medicine 76
