What We Have Learned and What We Need to Know. by John R. Wingard, Editor. Evidence-based medicine is the conscientious, explicit, and judicious use of current best evidence in making decisions about the care of individual patients. The practice of evidence-based medicine means integrating individual clinical experience with the best available external clinical evidence from systematic research.1. The American Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (ASBMT) has supported the conduct of a series of evidence-based reviews exploring the role of hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) in various hematologic disorders over the past several years. Earlier reviews can be viewed at the Societys Web site at www.asbmt.org. The enclosed abridged report summarizes the major findings of two recent reviews addressing the role of HCT in the management of acute lymphoblastic leukemia, one review in children, the other in adults.. A number of lessons have been learned during the course of this effort ...

TY - JOUR. T1 - Pioglitazone and metformin fixed-dose combination in type 2 diabetes mellitus. T2 - An evidence-based review of its place in therapy. AU - Derosa, Giuseppe. AU - Salvadeo, S. A T. PY - 2008. Y1 - 2008. N2 - Introduction: Type 2 diabetes mellitus, a metabolic disease with increasing incidence, is one of the most important cardiovascular risk factors. Insulin resistance represents the common mechanism that leads to type 2 diabetes in obese subjects. Metformin and the thiazolidinediones, pioglitazone and rosiglitazone, are insulin-sensitizing agents available for treatment of type 2 diabetes. Large clinical trials have demonstrated the effectiveness of both metformin and pioglitazone in reducing cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The fixed-dose combination of metformin and pioglitazone appears to be a good option for treating diabetes in insulin-resistant patients. Aims: The purpose of this article is to review the place in therapy of a fixed-dose combination of pioglitazone ...

TY - GEN. T1 - EBCPG. T2 - 9th International Congress on Nursing Informatics, NI 2006. AU - Yang, Wen Wen. AU - Chiang, I-Jen. PY - 2006. Y1 - 2006. N2 - Evidence-based clinical practice guidelines (CPG) have been recognized as an important guide to physicians for decision-making. These guidelines can assist physicians in giving good clinical care to their patients. Based on the overall healthcare improvements, medical care quality can be preserved while practice discrepancies and errors can be eliminated. Clear representation and accessible guideline content at the point care are also critical. One way to make implementation easier is through computerized and visualized guidelines combined with evidence-based literature. Therefore, this paper presents a computerized guideline system, EBCPG, which is composed of three main components: CPGs exploration, EBM exploration and Web-base management to accommodate clinician decision-making and maintainability. Two tasks based on CPGs exploration and ...

OBJECTIVE To develop evidence-based recommendations on how to investigate and follow-up undifferentiated peripheral inflammatory arthritis (UPIA). METHODS 697 rheumatologists from 17 countries participated in the 3E (Evidence, Expertise, Exchange) Initiative of 2008-9 consisting of three separate rounds of discussions and modified Delphi votes. In the first round 10 clinical questions were selected. A bibliographic team systematically searched Medline, Embase, the Cochrane Library and ACR/EULAR 2007-2008 meeting abstracts. Relevant articles were reviewed for quality assessment, data extraction and synthesis. In the second round each country elaborated a set of national recommendations. Finally, multinational recommendations were formulated and agreement among the participants and the potential impact on their clinical practice was assessed. RESULTS A total of 39,756 references were identified, of which 250 were systematically reviewed. Ten multinational key recommendations about the investigation

What Do We Mean By Research Evidence? In the justice system, the term evidence is used in a variety of ways. It can refer to items collected at a crime scene, eyewitness accounts, or security camera footage. These types of evidence are referred to as legal evidence.. For the purposes of the EBDM initiative, however, the term evidence is used to describe findings from empirically sound social science research. The initiative refers to the results of this research as evidence-based policy and practice.. ...

In the first encounter, the nurse role modelsevidence-based practice (mode 1 in table 1⇑), combining the actual doing with the think aloud technique to guide the learners attention to what is being done. By using mode 1, we demonstrate to learners how we incorporate evidence, along with other knowledge, into clinical decisions, so that they come to see the use of evidence as part of good clinical practice. We show by example that we really do it, and we can give pointers on when, where, and how to do it, too. Given the maxim actions speak louder than words, we can expect this first mode of teaching evidence-based practice to be very effective in and of itself, and it should reinforce what learners derive from other modes.. In the second encounter, the teacher weavesevidence in among the other facts and skills being taught (mode 2 in table 1⇑). When we teach clinical topics with evidence in the mix, we show by example how to integrate evidence with other useful knowledge in the context ...

Despite its recent development, evidence-based medicine (EBM) is increasingly being implemented in clinical practice, taught in medical schools, and relied upon in government policy-making. Although the principles guiding EBM may seem simple, the translation of scientific and clinical evidence into medical practice has inherent challenges. This review of EBM provides an overview of the history and development of EBM. In addition, we discuss some of the current academic groups that provide EBM resources, specifically the Cochrane Collaboration and the Therapeutics Initiative. We also present several challenges that face the practice of EBM and the barriers that persist in the medical curricula as educators strive to teach these concepts.. Full text (PDF, 484KB).

Dont kid yourself. Big Corporations are never altruistic for the sake of being altruistic. They cant be. They have share-holders to keep happy. Every single thing they do and every move they make is predicated on making money and increasing market share. The bigger the corporation, the more money it takes to keep the wheels turning. The real question we need to be asking in light of this story is can we trust them? Can we trust The Industries mentioned (Big Pharma and medical device makers) to play nice? Are you kidding me? HERE are a few of my posts on Evidence-Based Medicine, revealing why it will never be the bell tower of truth that DR. GORSKI and others believe it to be. But these links dont even begin to tell the whole story --- not even the tip of the tip of the tip of the iceberg. This problem of COI in the medical industry is so prevalent that its basically winked at --- that is until someone gets caught. Then, by golly, they need to pay!

Years ago, when the phrase evidence-based medicine was first being popularized, my friend and colleague Dr Bob Meek remarked, Whats new about that? He was correct; there was nothing new about the idea. In my experience, doctors have always tried to manage patients based on the best available evidence.. David Sackett, credited with popularizing evidence-based medicine defined it as the conscientious, explicit, and judicious use of current best evidence in making decisions about the care of individual patients. Who could argue with that?. One group that seeks to impose unproven top-down protocols on clinicians calls itself EvidenceNetwork.ca. They show how one can hijack a theoretically good concept and manipulate the model to create what they believe are valid guidelines pertaining to clinical treatments in which they have little or no expertise. That particular group lists nonclinical self-proclaimed experts who offer expert guidance in those areas.. I believe there are two kinds of ...

Updated 13 June 2016. We rated medical care services as Good overall because;. Care was provided in line with national best practice guidelines and medical care services participated in the majority of clinical audits where they were eligible to take part. National audits indicated that the majority of patients experienced good outcomes. Improvements had been made in the provision of stroke care although some improvements were still required. Action plans were in progress where areas for improvement had been identified. There was a focus on discharge planning from the moment of admission and there was good multidisciplinary working to support this.. Incidents were reported and investigated appropriately. Lessons were learnt and improvements made following incidents and findings were fed back to staff. There were systems in place to keep people safe and staff were aware of how to ensure patients were safeguarded from abuse. The hospital was clean and staff followed good hygiene practices. ...

In this work, we described the development of evidence-based guidelines for the care of patients with diabetes by primary care practitioners, using glycemic and blood pressure control and retinal screening as examples. The careful review and analysis of an independently prepared, evidence-based synthesis by a multispecialty panel of experts provided the best available evidence to the working group. Guidelines are meant to be applicable to large and complex health care systems and yet to empower the process of individual patient-practitioner counseling and goal setting based on individual risk stratification. The VA/DoD Clinical Guidelines for Treatment of Diabetes are intended to be a unifying standard of medical practice for the two largest agencies in the federal health care system that provide direct health care.. Some may criticize certain recommendations as being economically motivated with a design to minimize short-term costs. However, any target value endorsed by a guideline obligates ...

Evidence-based medicine refers to an approach to the teaching and practice of medicine that developed in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The approach emphasizes that medicine should be practiced according to evidence that can be assayed on the basis of its quality. The idea is that from among competing claims that physicians might face concerning various courses of action they might take, they can choose a course from evidence that has been assessed rigorously and presented systematically.. An influential aspect of the evidence-based medicine approach has been the Cochrane corroboration which is a collaboration of physicians and scientists who undertake detailed, systematic reviews of the evidence surrounding given courses of action. They attempt to gather all relevant information, including research that was conducted to a high standard but its results were not published. (Failure to publish the results of clinical trials appears to be common in the pharmaceutical industry, where there is no ...

A variety of emotional and behavioural disorders may develop following stroke. In stroke, prevalence rates of depression and anxiety have been reported to be as high as 24% and 29% respectively. These rates may be influenced by a combination of factors such as age, sex, socioeconomic factors, functional independence post-stroke, and the presence of cognitive disorders post-stroke which play a crucial role in an individuals emotional well-being and can significantly impact recovery. Many studies have investigated pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment options for post-stroke mood disturbances; however, no consensus has been reached regarding the most effective and viable treatment option available although the most effective treatment option appears to be pharmacological. This chapter explores the evidence of the various interventions on reducing post-stroke depression and other mood disorders, and delves into the possible risk factors that can facilitate the occurrence of post-stroke ...

Periodontal diseases are initiated by a pathogenic biofilm, in a susceptible host, affecting the tooth periodontium. Its possible association with many biologic systems has been studied. In this evidence based review, a comprehensive literature search was carried out to assess if there is an association between periodontal diseases and female infertility. An extensive search was conducted in PubMed and Cochrane Library. Epidemiological studies, experimental studies, inquiries or editorials on the theme periodontitis and infertility published until May 2016 were included. The initial search retrieved 47 papers, from which six were selected due to inclusion criteria. The epidemiological study with the highest level of evidence concluded that periodontal disease might be a factor that increases the time to conception, on average, in two months more, which is as negative as obesity. The authors stated that all patients before attempting to conceive could be oriented to have a dental checkup, as they ...

This review presents published evidence of the impact of Open Access on the academy, economy and society. Overall, the evidence points to a favorable impact of OA on the scholarly literature through increased dissemination and reuse. OA has the potential to be a sustainable business venture for new and established publishers, and can provide substantial benefits to research- and development-intensive businesses, including health organisations, volunteer sectors, and technology. The social case for OA is strong, in particular for advancing citizen science initiatives, and leveling the playing field for researchers in developing countries ...

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a neurodegenerative, T lymphocyte-mediated, autoimmune disease of uncertain etiology. Although genetic susceptibility may be involved, epidemiologic studies suggest environmental influence because the development of MS correlates most strongly with rising latitude in both the northern and southern hemispheres.28 Migration studies show that risk can be modified at an early age from both low to high and high to low prevalence rates.28 Exposure to sun in early childhood is associated with reduced risk of developing MS29 and population-based studies about MS in Canada have also shown that birth timing is a risk factor for MS because there are statistically significantly fewer patients with MS born in November and more born in May compared with controls.30 A birth-timing association suggests that seasonality and sunlight exposure may also have an effect on the developing fetus in utero.30,31. Several studies have shown that vitamin D affects the growth and differentiation ...

New developments in the treatment and management of phenylketonuria (PKU) as well as advances in molecular testing have emerged since the National Institutes of Health 2000 PKU Consensus Statement was released. An NIH State-of-the-Science Conference was convened in 2012 to address new findings, particularly the use of the medication sapropterin to treat some individuals with PKU, and to develop a research agenda. Prior to the 2012 conference, five working groups of experts and public members met over a 1-year period. The working groups addressed the following: long-term outcomes and management across the lifespan; PKU and pregnancy; diet control and management; pharmacologic interventions; and molecular testing, new technologies, and epidemiologic considerations. In a parallel and independent activity, an Evidence-based Practice Center supported by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality conducted a systematic review of adjuvant treatments for PKU; its conclusions were presented at the ...

Any changes in consumption will be described.

Practical resources to support evidence-based healthcare decisions are rapidly evolving. New and better services are being created through the combined forces of increasing numbers of clinically important studies, increasingly robust evidence synthesis and synopsis services, and better information technology and systems. The need for these resources is spurred by demands for higher quality at lower cost from health services, but the impact of better information resources is being blunted by noisy pretenders promising the earth but yielding just the dirt. Providers and consumers of evidence-based health care can help themselves to best current evidence by recognising and using the most evolved information services for the topics that concern them.. The figure provides a 4S hierarchical structure, with original studies at the base, syntheses (systematic reviews) of evidence just above the base, synopses of studies and syntheses next up, and the most evolved evidence-based information ...

Practicing according to the principles of evidence-based medicine involves the application of national practice guidelines, current clinical research, and experience to guide the diagnosis of a condition and selection of appropriate treatment. Although this practice is important in all fields of health care today, it is becoming increasingly important in specialty pharmacy. Given that drug spending for specialty pharmaceuticals is growing at 2.5 times the rate of nonspecialty spending1 and that total health care costs for specialty patients are 17.5 times higher than nonspecialty patients,2 increased focus has been placed on the use of specialty medications and concern over how to manage costs while ensuring appropriate utilization and quality care.. Specialty pharmacy is a growing area of pharmacy practice focused on providing drug therapy management and dispensing services for patients requiring treatment with medications that are used to treat rare, chronic, or genetic conditions.

The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality has pursued its commitment to evidence-based practice through research and programs that have produced important new information about the benefits, risks, costs, and cost-effectiveness of specific treatments and technologies for common and costly conditions such as back pain, prostate disease, and pneumonia (5-7). Perhaps the most visible commitment to evidence-based practice was AHRQs support of a clinical practice guideline program that produced 19 guidelines from 1990 to 1996 (http://www.ahrq.gov/clinic/cpgonline.htm) on important conditions such as heart failure and otitis media (8). A program initially requested by Congress, the guidelines proved popular with many stakeholders, and their explicit methods helped elevate the standards for evidence-based guidelines. At the same time, they also revealed limitations of centrally developed, government-sponsored guidelines. The process of convening individual panels, commissioning background ...

We propose using appropriate-use criteria (AUC) as the methodology of choice for formulating and disseminating evidence-based medicine guidelines in sports medicine and arthroscopy. AUC provide a structured process for integrating findings from the scientific literature with clinical judgment to produce explicit criteria for determining the appropriateness of specific treatments. The use of AUC will enable surgeons to treat patients in a more consistent manner based on expert clinical consensus and evidence-based medicine.

Normal systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) blood pressure is defined as ,95th percentile for the childs age, gender, and height percentile.1 Stage 1 hypertension (HTN) is SBP and/or DBP ≥95th percentile but ,99th percentile+5 mm Hg; Stage 2 HTN is SBP and/or DBP ,99th percentile +5 mm Hg. It is important to measure BP by auscultation with a cuff that covers ≥80% of the midarm circumference; a smaller cuff can result in artificially high readings.1 Ambulatory BP monitoring demonstrates that daytime SBP, DBP, and mean arterial BP increase significantly with increasing BMI.25 Although the pathophysiology of HTN in children with obesity is not fully understood,26 hyperinsulinemia, adipokine activation, perinephric fat effects on the kidney and cytokine action on the vascular endothelium, and cortisol and nitric oxide levels are contributory.27-29. Diagnosing and managing HTN quickly and effectively may affect long-term morbidity. Increased BMI in childhood predicts arterial stiffening in ...

Evidence-Based Health Promotion Interventions for People with Disabilities: Results of a Systematic Review of Literature, by Tom Seekins & Tory Kimpton

Ashwagandha is one of the most widely studied adaptogenic (helps body adapt to stress) herbs on the planet. Its use dates back to before there was written records and it is alleged to have a wide range of health applications, mostly relating to the fact that it can reduce stress (both physical indications and mental perception).. We discuss the anti-stress benefits of Ashwagandha in this article, but in the context of Epicenter, Team Six Supplements is likely concerned with preliminary research which indicates Ashwagandha can increase Testosterone slightly, but enough to elicit muscle and strength gains.. Further research has confirmed that Ashwagandha (KSM-66) can restore sex hormone levels and sperm count in instances of infertility, adding to the notion that it is indeed an effective natural Testosterone boosting agent.. Epicenter contains a standardized, reliable form of Ashwagandha known as KSM-66. We generally recommend either KSM-66 or Sensoril, as the liklihood that a non-brand name ...

Safed Musli is an Indian herb which has traditionally been used as an aphrodisiac and remedy for sexual dysfunction.. A 2011 study, published in Andrologia, found that mice fed Safed Musli experienced improved erectile function on par with low dose Testosterone treatment.. No studies have directly tested the effects of Safed Musli on testosterone, but a 2009 study noted increased prostatic weigh in mice fed 200mg/kg/day for 30 days, indicative of increased Testosterone.. Unfortuantely, this study did not measure serum Testosterone, so it cant be definitively stated that the results were due to increased Testosterone.. Due to the lack of human studies, Safed Musli still has a long way to go before it can be considered an effective test-booster, but the preliminary evidence suggests that, at the very least, it may enhance libido and improve sexual health. So, in the context of Stoked XT, it makes sense.. ...

Gout is the most common form of inflammatory arthritis. Hyperuricaemia is the pre-requisite for gout and is influenced by variable modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors. Clinical features unique for gout are due to deposition of monosodium urate (MSU) crystal in articular and extra articular tissues. Among various treating agents, anti-inflammatory drugs and urate lowering therapies (ULT) are used widely and successfully, however, non-medicinal means are also effective in the disorder. In their updated guidelines, ACR (2012) and EULAR (2016) recommended both medicinal and non-medicinal approaches that could be used in treating gout, though some of the recommendations are based on lower level of evidence. Moreover, researchers’ continued effort in finding new gout managing agents appear promising, for example, role of Lesinurad in gout management (CLEAR1, CLEAR2). In this new synthesis the author is aimed to provide updated information on gout management based on a systematic review including

Variation in development methods of Pressure Ulcer Risk Assessment Instruments has led to inconsistent inclusion of risk factors and concerns about content validity. A new evidenced-based Risk Assessment Instrument, the Pressure Ulcer Risk Primary Or Secondary Evaluation Tool - PURPOSE-T was developed as part of a National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) funded Pressure Ulcer Research Programme (PURPOSE: RP-PG-0407-10056). This paper reports the pre-test phase to assess and improve PURPOSE-T acceptability, usability and confirm content validity. A descriptive study incorporating cognitive pre-testing methods and integration of service user views was undertaken over 3 cycles comprising PURPOSE-T training, a focus group and one-to-one think-aloud interviews. Clinical nurses from 2 acute and 2 community NHS Trusts, were grouped according to job role. Focus group participants used 3 vignettes to complete PURPOSE-T assessments and then participated in the focus group. Think-aloud participants were

While assessments are often used as screeners or diagnostic tools, they can also be helpful tools throughout treatment. The integrative Evidence-Based Assessment (EBA) model is a framework for using clinical psychological assessments at all stages of clinical care: for prediction, prescription, and process.[58] With prediction of adolescent substance disorder, consistent use of brief screeners for substance use in mental health and medical care settings can catch substance use that would otherwise go undetected, allowing for early intervention and treatment implementation.[59][60] In the absence of these screeners, clinical judgement alone underestimates adolescent substance use and often doesnt identify the problem until late-stage behavioral issues become apparent.[61] With prescription, assessments can help a clinician determine the best treatment plan for an adolescent with a substance use disorder, considering the individual holistically. In this vein, assessments can help the ...

From the clinical perspective, the study design and the ensuing LOE classification may not always be the most important factor to consider while assessing the available evidence. Occasionally, even a well conducted RCT may not necessarily generate new knowledge superior to the knowledge gained from a case series study. Thus an RCT may be less significant to the clinical decision making than a case series study. For example, when a clinician assesses the benefits and risks of a possible treatment modality, the use of LOE alone can be misleading. An historical example is the use of Bisphosphonates for dental purposes:. Bisphosphonates (BPs) are a class of drugs that inhibit bone resorption and they are successfully used across a wide range of medical disciplines for bone diseases (Molvik & Khan 2015; Costa 2014; Anagha & Sen 2014; Giusti 2014; Bhatt et al. 2014; Eriksen et al. 2014). However, like any drug, BPs possess the risk of side effects. BPs-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) has been ...
