• Assess the evidence

– Doshabeda “Vikara”
• Doesn’t account for individual variation

Why EBM
N f id (i l / h i l) New types of evidence (instrumental /chemical)
are being generated which can create changes in
th ti t t t dthe way patients are treated
Although evidence is needed on a daily basis,
ll h dusually physicians don’t get it. Reasons are many ‐
1. Lack of time (busy practice)
2. Out-of-date textbooks (Ayurveda is 2000 years old), and
3. The disorganization of information3 e d so ga at o o o at o
4. Printing of non reliable articles in predatory medical journals

Why EBM in Ayurveda is in need
• There is a need of showing the Ayurveda traditional
Knowledge statistically and clinically significant
ith t ti l ti b twithout any negative correlation between a
physician’s knowledge for up to date care of patient
It i t k th t th h i i d h d• It is to know that the physician do have good care

school because of the 2000 years time tested valuesschool because of the 2000 years time tested values
• EBM makes Knowledge translation – increasing the
uptake of the best available evidence into practiceuptake of the best available evidence into practice –
which is always a challenge

Practice EBM
• 1. Ask a focused question.q
• 2. Acquire (systematically search for) epidemiological
evidence to help answer question.
• 3. Appraise evidence found for its validity, effect size,
precision (ideally all the relevant evidence)
• 4. Apply the evidence in practice:
– a. amalgamate the valid evidence with other relevant
information (values & preferences, clinical/health issues, &
system issues) and make an evidence‐based decision; and
b act (implement) the decision in practice– b. act (implement) the decision in practice
• 5. Assess your performance (write an article)
