PubReading [82] - How to Write a Systematic Review - R. Wright, K. Spindler et al.

<p><strong>Evidence-based medicine</strong> (EBM) is the combination of the best available research evidence with <strong>clinical experience</strong> and patient needs. The concept of EBM as a part of clinical decision making has become increasingly popular over the last decade. In the hierarchy of studies meta-analysis and <strong>systematic reviews</strong> occupy the highest levels. A systematic review of a clinical question can be performed by following a relatively standard form. These techniques as described here can be performed without formal training. Systematic reviews conducted in this fashion can be used as a higher form of current concepts or as review articles and replace the traditional expert opinion narrative review. - DOI: 10.1097/BLO.0b013e31802c9098</p>
