Background Evidence-based medicine (EBM) aims to provide skills that help physicians answer clinically important questions, determine new evidence, and incorporate the acquired knowledge in practice. EBM skills are necessary for the practice of modern medicine, since physicians should use up-to-date knowledge and information to justify their medical decisions. Purpose We aimed to evaluate the E...

CONFLICT OF INTEREST NONE DECLARED Evidence based medicine (EBM) is the conscientious, explicit, judicious and reasonable use of modern, best evidence in making decisions about the care of individual patients. EBM integrates clinical experience and patient values with the best available research information. It is a movement which aims to increase the use of high quality clinical research in cl...

Practicing medicine according to the best evidence is gaining popularity in the medical societies. Although this concept, which is usually called Evidence Based Medicine (EBM) has been explained in many resources, it has not been addressed enough in pediatrics. In this review, we briefly explained Evidence Based Medicine approach and its applications in pediatrics in order to help the pediatric...

Evidence-based medicine (EBM) is not a old hat, a "cookbook" medicine perpetrated by arrogant to serve cost cutters to suppress clinical freedom, a mandatory, deterministic, totalitarian practice of medicine, a way to control cost and to ignore patient preferences, a limit to personal/ humanistic/individual medicine. EBM is a reference of excellence to guide clinical decisions, the integration ...

This essay analyses the concept of ' base' in relation to its use in evidence-based medicine (EBM). It evaluates the extent to which evidence provides a sufficient base for health care to rest and discusses whether medicine needs a base, and, if so, what are the other possible candidates. This paper will argue that EBM is linked epistemologically to the theory of foundationalism and shows how i...

of EBM would argue that high quality evidence obtained through clinical epidemiologic methods should be ignored in the context of patient care. Nor would anyone argue that the current best evidence should be conscientiously, explicitly, and judiciously utilized when caring for an individual patient. REFERENCES 1.

At its core, evidence-based medicine is a systemic approach to utilizing the best scientific information to make decisions regarding diagnosis and treatment for individual patients. It involves learning a set of skills to access and evaluate the medical literature and select the most accurate information for use in clinical decision-making. The term " evidence-based medicine " (EBM) originated ...

The "evidence-based medicine" (EBM) paradigm is centered on the concept of "best evidence" and clinical studies based on this approach are more likely to be considered by physicians in their practice. In this paper we describe an ontology representing the concepts involved in evidence-based medicine and meta-analysis and show how an ontological approach can be applied both for revisiting EBM co...

In this article, we situate arts-based health research in the contextual background of evidencebased medicine, knowledge translation and qualitative health research to explain why the ethics of doing arts-based health research has received little attention until now. Then, we present an overview of the ethical issues reported in scientific publications by arts-based health researchers. Finally,...
