How to review a clinical paper
Evidence-based medicine involves the use of current best evidence in the clinical management of individual patients
Clinical guidelines incorporate best available evidence and are developed to inform both the physician and patient about appropriate healthcare choices
A structured approach should be used when reading clinical research papers and guidelines to assess the clinical applicability of the evidence for individual patients
Statistical significance does not always equate to clinical relevance for individual patients
