Evidence-Based Medicine - Overview
- How to be a good doctor - A step in Health promotion
- By Ibrahim A. Abdelhaleem - Zagazig Medical Research Society (ZMRS)
Evidence based nursing practice is one of most important for perfect and accurate in terms of saving a life.this presentation covers almost all aspect of EBD
Evidence Based Practice is the integration of clinical expertise, patient values, and the best research evidence into the decision making process for patient care.
Clinical expertise refers to the clinician’s cumulated experience, education and clinical skills. The patient brings to the encounter his or her own personal preferences and unique concerns, expectations, and values.
The best research evidence is usually found in clinically relevant research that has been conducted using sound methodology.

Ethical considerations in research during armed conflicts.pptxDr Ghaiath Hussein
My talk @AUBMC Salim El-Hoss Bioethics Webinar Series. In this webinar, we have discussed the following points:
1- How armed conflicts affect the planning and conduct of research?
2- What is ethically unique about research during armed conflicts?
3- How did my doctoral project approach these ethical issues both at the normative and the empirical levels?
4- What are the lessons learned from the conflicts in the middle east (Sudan, Syria, Yemen, etc.) and how do they differ from the situation in Ukraine?
Acknowledgement: This talk is based on my doctoral thesis (http://etheses.bham.ac.uk/8580/), which was fully funded by Wellcome Trust, UK.
Research or Not Research? This Is Not the Question for Public Health Emergencies
November 17, 2021 @ 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm EST
Speaker:
Ghaiath Hussein, Assistant Professor, Medical Ethics and Law, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland
About this Seminar:
Public health emergencies, whether natural or man-made, local or global, in peacetime or during armed conflicts are always associated with the need to collect data (and sometimes biological samples) about and from those affected by these emergencies. One of the central questions in the relevant literature is whether the activities that involve the collection of data and/or biological samples are considered ‘research’, with the subsequent endeavour to define what ‘research’ is and whether they should be submitted for ethical approval or not. In this seminar, I will argue that this is not the central question when it comes to research/public health/humanitarian ethics. Using the findings of a systematic review on the research conducted in Darfur and findings from a qualitative project that aimed at defining what constitutes ‘research’ in public health emergencies I will, alternatively, present what I refer to as the ‘ethical characterization’ of these research-like activities and how they can be ethically guided.
Acute scrotum is a general term referring to an emergency condition affecting the contents or the wall of the scrotum.
There are a number of conditions that present acutely, predominantly with pain and/or swelling
A careful and detailed history and examination, and in some cases, investigations allow differentiation between these diagnoses. A prompt diagnosis is essential as the patient may require urgent surgical intervention
Testicular torsion refers to twisting of the spermatic cord, causing ischaemia of the testicle.
Testicular torsion results from inadequate fixation of the testis to the tunica vaginalis producing ischemia from reduced arterial inflow and venous outflow obstruction.
The prevalence of testicular torsion in adult patients hospitalized with acute scrotal pain is approximately 25 to 50 percent

This comprehensive endeavor encompasses various stages, including target identification, preclinical studies, clinical trials, regulatory approval, and post-market surveillance. It involves multidisciplinary collaboration among scientists, researchers, clinicians, regulatory experts, and pharmaceutical companies to bring innovative therapies to market and address unmet medical needs.
Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

Lecture 17
Level 8
Year 4
2. Research Methodology and
Evidence Based Healthcare (EBHC481)
Objectives
1. Understand the importance of evidence-based medicine in healthcare.
2. Know how to formulate clinically relevant, answerable questions using the
Patient Intervention Comparison Outcome (PICO) framework.
3. Understand the importance of assessing the quality and validity of evidence
by critically appraising the literature.
4. Know that different study designs provide varying levels of evidence.
5. Know how to assess and implement new evidence in clinical practice.
6. Understand the importance of regularly evaluating the implementation of
new evidence-based practice.
7. Understand why clinical recommendations are regularly updated and list the
steps involved in creating new clinical practice guidelines.

3. Research Methodology and
Evidence Based Healthcare (EBHC481)
What is EBM
• EBM is the integration of the: (3Es)
1. Evidence (research evidence): most updated and relevant
clinical research.
2. Expertise (clinical expertise): the clinical skills and past
experience to identify each patient's unique health state and
diagnosis and the specific risks and benefits of potential
interventions.
3. Expectations (patient’s values, preferences and
circumstances): the specific preferences, concerns, personal
values, and expectations of each patient.
3
5. Research Methodology and
Evidence Based Healthcare (EBHC481)
The need for the evidence-based decision:
• In the past, physicians relied on their own experience or that of other health
care workers to take decisions.
• Currently, this approach is inadequate and poor
1. Daily need for valid information about diagnosis, prognosis, therapy and
prevention.
2. The inadequacy of traditional sources for this information because they
might be out-of-date (textbooks), potentially wrong (colleagues), or too
overwhelming in their volume (medical journals)
3. The disparity between our diagnostic skills/clinical judgment, which
increases with experience, and our up-to-date knowledge which declines
with time.
4. Our inability to afford more than a few minutes per patient for finding and
assimilating this evidence

Evidence Based Healthcare (EBHC481)
EBM principles
• EBM involves two fundamental principles:
• Evidence alone is never the sole basis for decisions:
• Benefits and risks
• Costs
• Alternative strategies
• Patients values
• EBM has a hierarchy of strength of evidence for decisions: The
hierarchy of evidence is a spectrum of potential sources beginning with
those most likely to provide the evidence to those with the least likely.
8
10. Research Methodology and
Evidence Based Healthcare (EBHC481)
Hierarchy of evidence
• Hierarchy
• Meta-analysis = highest quality
• Randomized trial = high quality
• Quasi-randomized = moderate quality
• Observational study = low quality
• Any other evidence = very low quality
10
11. Research Methodology and
Evidence Based Healthcare (EBHC481)
• Decrease grade(s) if:
• Serious limitation to study quality.
• Important inconsistency
• Imprecise or sparse data
• High probability of reporting bias
• Increase grade if:
• Strong evidence of association based on consistent evidence
from two or more observational studies.
• Evidence of a dose response gradient
• All plausible confounders would have reduced the effect
11
13. Research Methodology and
Evidence Based Healthcare (EBHC481)
Evidence
• Evidence is information that we use in deciding whether to believe
a statement or proposition.
• Evidence have two major attributes:
• Validity (quality): Closeness to the truth. Validity is based on
study design, totality of evidence (consistency), and the quality
of the studies.
• Power: The strength of the association = the size effect.
13
14. Research Methodology and
Evidence Based Healthcare (EBHC481)
EBM steps
• Practicing EBM is primarily based on five well defined steps, which
can be broadly categorized as the five A‟s (5 A‟s)
1. Asking focused questions
2. Acquiring the evidence
3. Appraisal of evidence
4. Application of the best evidence in practice
5. Assessing and evaluating the performance
14
15. Research Methodology and
Evidence Based Healthcare (EBHC481)
1- Asking Focused Questions
• The question should be directly relevant to the problem at hand
and should be phrased to facilitate searching for a precise answer.
• To achieve these aims, the question must be divided into four
components, which are called “PICO”
1. P: The Patient (Population) and/or Problem being addressed.
2. I: The Intervention or exposure being considered.
3. C: The Comparison (control) intervention when relevant.
4. O: The clinical Outcomes of interest.
15
16. Research Methodology and
Evidence Based Healthcare (EBHC481)
Example
• John, 31 years old, was diagnosed with heart failure 3 years old
and prescribed a beta blocker which dramatically improved his
symptoms. John’s 5- year-old daughter, Sarah, has been recently
diagnosed with chronic symptomatic congestive heart failure. John
asks you, Sarah’s pediatrician, whether his daughter should also be
prescribed a beta-blocker.
16
17. Research Methodology and
Evidence Based Healthcare (EBHC481)
• Patient: Children with congestive heart failure
• Intervention: beta-blocker
• Comparison: No beta-blocker
• Outcome: Improvement of congestive heart failure symptoms
• Question: Is there a role for beta-blockers in the management of
heart failure in children?
17
18. Research Methodology and
Evidence Based Healthcare (EBHC481)
2- Acquiring the Evidence
• In this step we make a systematic retrieval of the best evidence
available. Choosing the best resource to search is an important
decision.
• Following is a list of some valuable resources for practicing EBM:
• Summaries of the primary evidence: ACP Journal Club, Clinical
Evidence
• Databases: PubMed, Cochrane Library
• Electronic textbooks and libraries: AccessMedicine, ACPMedicine,
• Meta-Search Engines: SUMSearch, TRIP Answers.
18
19. Research Methodology and
Evidence Based Healthcare (EBHC481)
3- Appraisal of evidence
• It is the process of assessing and evaluating the evidence for its
internal validity, its clinical relevance, and applicability.
• Appraisal of evidence depends on the following 4 pillars -RVRA:
• Relevance: It focuses on the relevance of the literature to the
question asked.
• Validity: Are the results of the study valid?
• Results: What are the overall results? How precise are they?
• Applicability: Are the results Applicable in and useful for my patients ?
19
20. Research Methodology and
Evidence Based Healthcare (EBHC481)
• Validity: the degree to which a study reaches a correct
conclusions.
• Two main components:
• Internal: the study is valid for the population of patients who
were actually studies.
• External: the study is valid for other patients (Generalizability).
• Two types of errors threat the validity of the study:
• Systematic error: such as bias, confounding.
• Random error
20
22. Research Methodology and
Evidence Based Healthcare (EBHC481)
4. Application of the best evidence in practice: Based on the
findings of the above, a clinical decision is to be made.
5. Assessing and evaluating the performance: Evaluating our
effectiveness and efficiency in executing steps 1 - 4 and seeking
ways to improve them both for next time.
22
23. Research Methodology and
Evidence Based Healthcare (EBHC481)
Domains of EBM
• From a clinical perspective, evidence-based medicine is relevant for five key
domains:
• Intervention (treatment): Whether an intervention is better than existing
interventions or no treatment at all ?
• Etiology (harm): Is the exposure a risk factor for developing a certain
condition?
• Diagnosis: How good is the diagnostic test (history taking, physical
examination, laboratory or pathological tests and imaging) in determining
whether a patient has a particular condition?
• Prognosis: Are there factors related to the patient that predict a particular
outcome (disease progression, survival time after diagnosis of the disease,
etc.)?
• Cost-effectiveness: Are any interventions worth paying for? (commissioners,
policymakers)
23
24. Research Methodology and
Evidence Based Healthcare (EBHC481)
Limitations of EBM
• Lack of good evidence for many clinical questions
• Results may not be relevant for all treatment situations
• Lag in time between when the research studies is conducted,
when its results are published when these are properly applied.
24
25. Research Methodology and
Evidence Based Healthcare (EBHC481)
Linking research to EBM
• Finally, to be able to practice medicine based on the best
evidence, the health care practitioner has to be equipped with
both clinical and research knowledge.
• More specifically, research knowledge includes:
1. Understanding of research process
2. Ethical consideration
3. Study design
4. Statistical analyses
5. Results interpretation.
