Researches in evidence-based medicine have provided important evidence for family planning doctors to guide their clinical practice. With examples of clinical researches, the practical methods of evidence-based medicine in family planning service are discussed in this paper.
The number of clinical guidelines developed and published in different countries is increasing worldwide. Too many guidelines do not remain in regular use, even though the aim is to implement them in clinical practice. The scientific validity and reliability of the guidelines need to be reviewed. Here is a case presented to show how to optimally use the evidence-based guideline to improve clinical decision making.
As evidence-based practice (EBP) continues to be valued, the guideline implementation has become an important field for research and practice in health care. In order to better guide the guideline implementation in the field of health care, this paper combines the EBP experience gained from several EBP programs carried out in our hospital those years, in aim of exploring and sharing the methodology of guideline implementation in domestic clinical settings.
The first Global Evidence Summit (GES) was held in Cape Town in South Africa from September 13th to November 16th, 2017. This paper interprets the construction of digital and trustworthy evidence ecosystem which was proposed to be established by the GES.
The RE-AIM framework is the most commonly used framework for implementation research outcome evaluation, with the original paper cited 2 800 times. However, in the specific operationalization process of the framework, there are often situations of misuse or overuse of various dimensions and indicators. This article provides a detailed introduction to the main content, application scenarios, and characteristics of the RE-AIM framework. Taking the implementation research of Evidence-based Practice Guidelines for Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Treatment of Stroke as an example, it introduces how to use the silent & anonymous feedback technology, which combines the improved Delphi method and nominal group technique, to construct an implementation outcome indicator evaluation system to achieve the operability of the RE-AIM framework. This will provide a reference for other researchers to use implementation science theories, models, and frameworks to develop implementation plans or evaluate implementation outcomes.
Traditional Chinese medicine has been used for the treatment of many diseases including acute infections often associated with public health emergencies for thousands of years. However, clinical evidence supporting the use of these treatments is insufficient, and the mechanism for using Chinese medicine therapy in the public health setting has not been fully established. In this report, the Evidence-based Traditional and Integrative Chinese medicine Responding to Public Health Emergencies Working Group proposed five recommendations to facilitate the inclusion of Chinese medicine as part of our responses to public health emergencies. It is expected that the Working Group’s proposals may promote the investigation and practice of Chinese Medicine in public health settings.
This paper is to reveal how the traditional practice is being challenged by evidence-based medicine and it also indicates where does the best evidence come from, how to find and classify them. This paper will also show the clinicians how to practice evidence-based medicine, especially in the treatment of respiratory disease in a step by step fashion. Finally this paper will guide the Chinese physicians how to solve the commonly confronting problems in practicing evidence-based medicine.
Objective To investigate an individualized treatment program of a patient with multilevel cervical spondylotic myelopathy by the method of evidence-based medicine. Methods One patient with multilevel cervical spondylotic myelopathy was admitted into West China Hospital on October 19th, 2015. After evaluating the patient’s condition adequately, we proposed the problem according to the " patient, intervention, control, and outcome” (PICO) principles. Then, we searched and evaluated the systematic reviews, randomized controlled trials (RCTs), cohort studies from Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Medline, Embase, PubMed, OVID ACP Journal Club, CNKI, Wanfang and so on. The search date was from January 1991 to December 2015. And the best evidences from the databases were utilized in clinical practice. Results Twelve studies (five systematic reviews, two RCTs, four cohort studies and one latest guideline) were listed. To patients with multilevel cervical spondylotic myelopathy with ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL), posterior laminoplasty was less traumatic and had less complication. Expansive open-door laminoplasty was better. And the use of mini-plate fixation also reduced the related complications. Conclusions Posterior expansive open-door laminoplasty with mini-plate fixation has less traumatic and complication incidence, which can treat multilevel cervical spondylotic myelopathy effectively. For the best results and avoiding adverse outcomes, the procedure should be preferred in patients with OPLL.
