Evidence Based Medicine—How to Practice and Teach EBM
Abstract
David L Sackett, W Scott Richardson, William Rosenberg, R Brian Haynes Churchill Livingstone, £14.99, pp 250 ISBN 0 443 05686 2 The health reforms in Britain during the 1990s have brought with them a profusion of buzz words and ideas—from the “purchaser-provider split” to the “primary care led NHS.” The most challenging innovation, however, is presented by the concept of evidence based medicine. The first forgivable response of any doctor to this seeming jargon is likely to be “Well, of course—that's what I always do,” but these words may well be accompanied by a glazed, if not shifty, look in the eyes. The second response, perhaps more thoughtful and certainly more honest, will be a degree of confusion: “What does it really …

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
