Evidence-based practice or practice-based evidence
This document discusses evidence-based practice in healthcare. It begins by asking whether evidence-based practice or practice-based evidence is more important. It then discusses the need for evidence to make informed healthcare decisions and defines what counts as strong evidence, such as results from randomized controlled trials. The document examines where strong evidence can be found, such as in systematic reviews and meta-analyses of multiple studies. It emphasizes using the best available evidence to make decisions that suit each individual patient.

Meta analysis • Meta-analysisis a statistical procedure that integrates the results of several independent studies considered to be “combinable.” • Well conducted meta-analyses allow a more objective appraisal of the evidence than traditional narrative reviews, provide a more precise estimate of a treatment effect, and may explain heterogeneity between the results of individual studies. • Ill conducted meta-analyses, on the other hand, may be biased owing to exclusion of relevant studies or inclusion of inadequate studies.
