25. Information Retrieval for Evidence Based Health Care Using research findings versus conducting research Retrieving and evaluating information that has direct application to specific patient care problems Selecting resources that are current, valid and available at point-of-care Developing search strategies that are feasible within time constraints of clinical practice

26. www.cebm.net “Evidence-based medicine is the integration of best research evidence with clinical expertise and patient values” Sackett DL, Rosenberg WMC, Gray JAM, Haynes RB, Richardson WS: Evidence based medicine: what it is and what it isn’t. BMJ 1996;312:71-2. Patient Concerns Clinical Expertise Best research evidence EBM What is EBM?

27. EBM Process – 5 Steps 1. ASK: Convert need for information into answerable question 2. ACQUIRE: Find best evidence to answer the question 3. APPRAISE: Critically appraise evidence for validity, impact, and applicability 4. APPLY: Integrate evidence with clinical expertise and patient values 5. ASSESS: Evaluate own effectiveness

28. Integration of Clinical Research into Patient Care Process

29. Clinical Questions Four common types:  Therapy/prevention  Diagnosis  Etiology  Prognosis

30. Answerable Questions Select Questions That:  Are most important to the patient’s well being  Fill gaps in your clinical knowledge  Are feasible to answer in the time available

31. Information Retrieval to Answer Clinical Questions Requires New Skills Clinical question formulation Search and retrieval of best evidence Critical appraisal of study methods

32. Is All Evidence Created Equal? Small portion of medical literature is immediately useful to answer clinical questions Understanding “wedge or pyramid of evidence” is helpful in finding highest level of evidence High levels of evidence may not exist for all questions due to nature of medical problems and research limitations

33. As you move up the pyramid the amount of available literature decreases, but it increases in its relevance to the clinical setting.

34. Evidence Based Retrieval Find the answer that is supported by valid studies appropriate to the type of question and that is available in a timely manner Requires search terms plus best study design for question plus highest level of evidence

35. Therapy/Prevention Question 1. What is the best available evidence regarding the effectiveness of intake of fruits and vegetables to prevent cardiovascular diseases? 2. Find the answer that is supported by valid studies, appropriate to the type of question, and that is available in a timely manner.

36. 1. Possible Search Terms cardiovascular diseases, fruits and vegetables, prevention

37. 2. Best Study Design for Type of Question Type of QuestionStudy Design Therapy/preventionRandomized controlled trials DiagnosisProspective cohort, blind comparison to a gold standard PrognosisCohort, Case Control, Case Series Etiology/HarmCohort, Case Control, Case Series

38. 3. Begin Search at Top Level of Evidence
