Evidence based medicine: what it is and what it isn't
David L Sackett, William M C Rosenberg, J A Muir Gray, R Brian Haynes, W Scott
Richardson
BMJ 1996;312:71-72 (13 January)
…Criticism has ranged from evidence based
medicine being old hat to it being a dangerous
innovation, perpetrated by the arrogant to serve
cost cutters and suppress clinical freedom...
“Evidence based medicine is the
conscientious, explicit, and judicious use of
current best evidence in making decisions
about the care of individual patients. The
practice of evidence based medicine
means integrating individual clinical
expertise with the best available external
clinical evidence from systematic research”
