Evidence-Based Medicine is “The Gold Standard”

Evidence-based medicine is the integration of best research evidence with clinical expertise and patient values. READ MORE »

Evidence-Based Medicine

×

Evidence-based medicine is the integration of best research evidence with clinical expertise and patient values. Evidence-based medicine is an interdisciplinary approach which uses techniques from science, engineering, biostatistics and epidemiology, such as meta-analysis, decision analysis, risk-benefit analysis, and randomized controlled trials to deliver “the right care at the right time to the right patient." (Source: AHRQ)

Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM) aims for the ideal that healthcare professionals should make "conscientious, explicit, and judicious use of current best evidence" in their everyday practice. The practice of evidence-based medicine uses systematic reviews of the medical literature to evaluate the best evidence on specific clinical topics (evidence synthesis). The evidence is then translated into practice by medical practitioners who select treatment options for specific cases based on the best research, patient preferences and individual patient characteristics (knowledge translation). Evidence-based medicine practitioners engage in life-long learning and are committed to the continuing education of professionals and patient communities.

Massachusetts General Hospital logo

“Evidence-based medicine is the integration of best research evidence with clinical expertise and patient values…. healthcare professionals should make ‘conscientious, explicit, and judicious use of current best evidence’ in their everyday practice.”

For Treatment Options Tables and Procedures & Tests Options Tables:

The numbers and percentages in our tables are based on published reports from NIH PubMed, Cochrane, FDA, NIH and other sources and can be affected by many factors such as study sizes, quality of studies, and patient populations. They are intended to give viewers an evidence-based understanding of the relative effectiveness and risks of surgeries, procedures, tests and drugs and are subject to change. Patients with their unique histories must confer and solely make medical decisions with their doctors. EvidenceMD ®  never renders medical advice.

For Drug Options Tables:

Ask your physician about SIDE EFFECTS, INTERACTIONS with other medicines, and harmful CONTRAINDICATIONS before taking a drug. EvidenceMD ®  does not endorse drugs, diagnose patients, or recommend therapy. Our site is not intended to cover all possible uses, directions, precautions, warnings, drug interactions, allergic reactions, or adverse effects.
