Outline
4. 4
PICO: Question structure
Example:
P: Are patients with pain symptoms
I: who take conventional NSAIDs,
C: compared to those who take selective
NSAIDs,
O: at an increased risk of peptic ulcer or
GI bleeding?
Common Pitfalls for EBM
5. 5
PICO Question: Not too specific, but not
too broad
Focus on patient population similar to
this patient, but not exactly this patient
Pertinent features in PICO Question
should be part of keywords
Selecting paper that best fits the
question & your critical appraisal reveals
good (valid, important & applicable)
evidence
Common Pitfalls for EBM
6. 6
Avoid “Free full text” filter or limit
▪ PubMed only shows those publicly
available for free
▪ PubMed doesn’t know which journals the
university subscribes to (the ones that you
can access full texts even though they’re
not free)
▪ You could miss many relevant papers
Common Pitfalls for EBM
7. 7
When using OVID MEDLINE
▪ Basic Search vs. Advanced Search
▪ Advanced Search: Always put “AND”
between words, otherwise will search for
exact match
▪ risk AND breast cancer AND contraceptive

Types of Review Studies
http://www.docstoc.com/docs/126908275/Meta-analysis
11. 11
A clearly stated set of objectives with
pre-defined eligibility criteria for studies
An explicit, reproducible methodology
A systematic search that attempts to identify all
studies that would meet the eligibility criteria
An assessment of the validity of the findings of
the included studies, for example through the
assessment of risk of bias
A systematic presentation, and synthesis, of the
characteristics and findings of the included
studies
Key Characteristics of
Systematic Reviews
http://handbook.cochrane.org/
12. 12
To collate all empirical evidence that
fits pre-specified eligibility criteria in
order to answer a specific research
question
Uses explicit, systematic methods to
minimize bias and provide reliable
findings
Why Do Systematic Reviews?
http://handbook.cochrane.org/
13. 13
To provide more precise estimates of
effects than estimates from individual
studies, and increase power of
statistical tests over individual studies,
by combining information from all relevant
studies
To facilitate investigations of consistency
of evidence, and exploration of
differences, across studies
Why Do Meta-Analyses?
http://handbook.cochrane.org/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meta-analysis
14. 14
The power of a statistical test is
The probability that it correctly rejects the
null hypothesis when the null hypothesis
is false.
In other words, the ability of a test to
detect an effect, if the effect actually
exists.
Avoiding Type II errors (False-negatives)

Meta-analysis: การประมวลผลรวมของการศึกษาต่างๆ
เข้าด้วยกันด้วยวิธีการทางสถิติ มี 2 models
Fixed Effects Model
o Assumes that the true effect of treatment is
the same for every study
Random Effects Model
o Assumes that the true effect estimate for each
study varies

ศึกษาความแตกต่างของข้อค้นพบระหว่างบทความ
Concepts and sources of heterogeneity
Clinical Heterogeneity: Differences in patients
characteristics or treatment regimen (interventions)
Methodological Heterogeneity: Variation in
study design, defining & measuring outcomes,
duration of follow-up & other methodological factors
(e.g. use of blinding & allocation concealment)
Statistical Heterogeneity (or Heterogeneity):
Variability in intervention effects observed in
different studies due to Clinical Heterogeneity
and/or Methodological Heterogeneity
The Play of Chance: Random errors

Critical Appraisal Checklist for
Systematic Reviews
What question (PICO) did the systematic review
address?
Is it unlikely that important, relevant studies were
missed?
Were the criteria used to select articles for inclusion
appropriate?
Were the included studies sufficiently valid for the
type of question asked?
Were the results similar from study to study?
What were the results?
Will the results help locally?
