  13. The EBM 3-step approach Appraising and using an article from the medical literature in three steps: Step 1 – Are the results of the study (internally) valid? Step 2 – What are the results? Step 3 – How can I apply these results to patient care?

  14. Articles about therapy • Are the results valid? • Did experimental and control groups begin the study with a similar prognosis? • Were pts randomized? • Was randomization concealed? • Were pts analyzed in the groups to which they were randomized? • Were pts in the treatment and control groups similar with respect to known prognostic factors? • Did experimental and control groups retain a similar prognosis after the study started? • Were pts aware of group allocation? • Were clinicians aware of group allocation? • Were outcome assessors aware of group allocation? • Was follow-up complete?

  15. Articles about therapy • What are the results? • How large was the treatment effect? • How precise was the estimate of the treatment effect? • How can I apply the results to patient care? • Were the study patients similar to my patient? • Were all clinically important outcomes considered? • Are the likely treatment benefits worth the potential harm and costs?

  39. Internal validity appraisalaccording to The Cochrane Collaboration • 4 MAIN TYPE OF BIAS POTENTIALLY UNDERMINING RCTs • Ascertainment bias • Non-uniform adjudication of events • Attrition bias • Non-uniform follow-up or compliance to treatment • Performance bias • Non-uniform performance of corollary treatments • Selection bias • The non-random allocation of pts one of the treatment groups http://www.cochrane.org

  40. Articles about harm • Are the results valid? • Did experimental and control groups begin the study with a similar prognosis? • Did the investigators demonstrate similarity in all known determinants of outcome; did they adjust for differences in the analysis? • Were exposed patients equally likely to be identified in the two groups? • Did experimental and control groups retain a similar prognosis after the study started? • Were the outcomes measured in the same way in the groups being compared? • Was follow-up sufficiently complete?

  41. Articles about harm • What are the results? • How strong is the association between exposure and outcome? • How precise is the estimate of the risk? • How can I apply the results to patient care? • Were the study patients similar to the patient under consideration in my practice? • Was the duration of follow-up adequate? • What was the magnitude of risk? • Should I attempt to stop the exposure?
