Pełny tekst źródłaIntroduction The aim of this study was to examine how the term “evidence” was conceived and used among academics and practitioners who teach medicine and public health. The rationale for the study was the widespread debate in the 1990s about evidence in health care. Methods Qualitative data were collected between 1996 to 1999. The core data came from unstructured interviews with researchers and practitioners linked to the Faculty of Medicine, University of Sydney. Other sources of data were: participant observation of group interactions in the Faculty of Medicine and at national and international conferences about evidence in health care; discourse in health care literature; and Internet posting to an international “evidence-based health” Email discussion list. The Grounded Theory method was adopted to analyse and interpret these data. The process involved systematic coding of the data to develop conceptual categories. These categories were employed to formulate propositions about the topic of evidence and how it was conceived and used by the study participants. Results Researchers and practitioners often discussed evidence from a “realist” view: that is they valued scientifically derived and rigorously substantiated knowledge about the natural world. Yet despite their widely shared epistemological perspectives, study participants presented several diverse concepts of evidence. Their ideas were also dynamic and evolving, and often influenced by the developing (local and international) debates and controversies about evidence-based medicine (EBM). Grounded Theory analysis leads to the selection of a core “social process”. This is a core conceptual category that draws together the ideas observed in the data, and that is adopted to present the study findings. In this study, “judgement” was identified as the core social process to underpin all examined reflections and discussions about evidence. Study participants defined the concept of evidence through a combination of description and appraisal. Evidence was described in three ways, i.e.: as a “measure of reality”, by its “functional role”, or as a “constructed product”. Evidence was also appraised on three “dimensions”, i.e.: “benchmarked”, “applied” and “social” dimensions of evidence. Participants invoked these concepts of evidence differently when forming their own judgements about medical or public health knowledge; when making decisions about clinical practice; and when using argument and persuasion to influence the judgements of others. Many researchers and practitioners also modified their judgements on evidence in the light of EBM. This was based on perceptions that EBM had become a dominant rhetoric within health care, which had the potential to channel the flow of resources. This led to an increasing consideration of the “social dimension” of evidence, and of the social construction and possible “misuse” of the term evidence. Conclusions The concept of evidence is presented in this study as a multi-dimensional construct. I have proposed that the three descriptions and three dimensions of evidence presented in this study, and recognition of the way these may be invoked when forming and influencing judgments, can be used as a basis for communicating about evidence in medicine and public health among colleagues and with students. There are significant gaps in knowledge (based on empirical research) about the social dimension of evidence. Particularly, in situations where researchers and practitioners wish to employ the concept of evidence to influence others’ medical and public health practice and wider social policy.

Pełny tekst źródłaSimilar to their colleagues throughout the world, nurses and midwives in New South Wales (NSW), Australia, welcome evidencebased practice (EBP) as a means to improve patient or client outcomes. This thesis explores the way nurses and midwives understand evidence for EBP and aims to determine whether members of these professions currently have the knowledge and skills necessary to implement evidence‐based care. Three separate studies were conducted to explore NSW nurses’ readiness for EBP. Attitudes, knowledge and skill were investigated using an EBP questionnaire returned by 383 nurses. The views of 23 nursing opinion leaders were elicited during qualitative in‐depth interviews, and their ideas on maximising the potential for future nurses to confidently engage in EBP were explored. Current approaches to teaching EBP in undergraduate nursing programs were investigated by examining documents issued by NSW nursing education providers. The results demonstrate many differences between the ways NSW nurses currently understand evidence for EBP, and a range of approaches to teaching EBP in undergraduate nursing programs. Under current conditions, nurses graduating from universities in NSW commence practice with varying levels of preparation for EBP and enter into a professional arena that is itself struggling to cope with the concepts and language of this approach to improving healthcare. v Evidence for the effectiveness of EBP is slowly accumulating and despite some small positive signs, the collective results of this thesis suggest that current educational approaches are not capable of producing the kind of results that are both necessary and desirable for the promotion of evidence‐based nursing practice in NSW. Articulating a commitment to EBP, using a common language and a consistent approach are among the recommendations made for the future promotion of EBP in nursing education.

Pełny tekst źródłaEvidence based medicine requires randomized clinical trials for estimating a mean treatment effect. The personalization of this treatment effect needs prognostic biomarker for assessing the spontaneous risk of the disease and the absolute benefit of the treatment; and the search for potential theranostic biomarker, associated with a different relative treatment effect. Surrogate endpoints are also proposed, as their measure would reflect the treatment effect on the clinical outcome of interest. Taking care of patients with type 2 diabetes is based on hypoglycemic drugs. Several of them have been retrospectively associated with serious adverse events. They need to be assessed with cardiovascular outcome trials. Taking care of those patients also include handling other cardiovascular risk factor, as high blood pressure. Antihypertensive treatment is based on a “target to treat” strategy, which raise several questions. Finally, many theranostic biomarkers of the hypoglycemic drugs effect have been studied, with conflicting results. Statistical power is a high challenge in randomized trial looking for such interaction. We aimed to provide a mean treatment effect estimation of hypoglycemic drugs on cardiovascular outcomes and to explore potential tools for personalizing the treatment effect estimation. The first part of this thesis reports a network meta-analysis assessing the contemporary hypoglycemic drugs in type 2 diabetes patients on overall mortality, cardiovascular mortality and major adverse cardiovascular events. We confirmed the superiority of SGLT2 inhibitors and of GLP1 receptor agonists compared to control and to DPP4 inhibitors. We also showed the need for direct comparison, especially for clarifying the position of metformin in the pharmacological strategy. The second part of this thesis reports a meta-regression analysis, assessing the association between the decrease in blood pressure through antihypertensive drugs and the risk of cardiovascular events. We confirmed the association between the blood pressure control and the risk of stroke, but did not find any association regarding overall mortality, cardiovascular mortality and myocardial infarction. The third part reports a statistical comparison of the parallel group design and the cross-over design, regarding their capacity to assess a potential theranostic biomarker. We showed that the advantage of the cross-over for reducing the sample size lead on the intra-subject correlation, as already known for estimating the treatment effect. Finally, we highlighted the need for comparisons of hypoglycemic drugs for preventing macrovascular events. We emphasized pitfalls in estimating benefit—risk balance. Individual patient data meta-analyses would help better assessing the effect of glucose control on macrovascular events. High-throughput genome sequencing technologies would help to identify both prognostic and theranostic biomarkers. Lastly, we proposed an extended version of the effect model, which allow to grasp the benefit—risk balance of a treatment, according to different biomarkers. To conclude, assessing a mean and a stratified treatment effect should be conducted taking into account the global benefit—risk balance estimation

Pełny tekst źródłaContexte: Avec l'évolution de la chirurgie reconstructive du sein, les chirurgiens plasticiens continuent de trouver des moyens d'améliorer leurs reconstructions. Le but de notre étude est de démontrer, à travers trois études cliniques, comment la recherche en chirurgie plastique peut améliorer les pratiques chirurgicales courantes, durant les périodes pré-, intra- et postopératoires. Méthodes: Lors de notre première étude, nous avons effectué une méta-analyse afin d'évaluer la sécurité d'utilisation et l'efficacité des Blocs Thoraciques Para-Vertébraux (BTPV) pour la chirurgie du sein, en comparaison à l'Anesthésie Générale (AG). Pour cela, nous avons effectué une recherche électronique et manuelle d'articles écrits en anglais et français sur les BTPV en chirurgie du sein (publiés jusqu'en Juin 2010). Deux niveaux de sélection d'articles ont été utilisés. La méthode de Mantel-Haenszel (effets fixes) a été utilisée pour effectuer la méta-analyse. Lors de notre seconde étude, nous avons effectué une revue systématique afin d'évaluer la littérature existante qui compare l'utilisation de drains ou non lors des réductions mammaires. Pour cela, nous avons cherché Pub Med, EMBASE, le "Cochrane Central Database of Clinical Trials (CENTRAL) on the Cochrane Library" et le "Science Citation Index Expanded" pour les articles et revues de Janvier 1980 à Juin 2009. Finalement, lors de notre troisième étude, nous présentons notre expérience sur l'utilisation d'expanseurs sous cutanés de seins avant une reconstruction avec un lambeau basé sur la perforante de l'artère inferieure épigastrique profonde (lambeau DIEP). Nous démontrons comment notre nouvelle technique élimine l'apparence de patch du lambeau DIEP sur le sein. Nous avons développé cette technique; technique chirurgicale qui n'a jamais été décrite ou présentée auparavant. Au courant des deux dernières années (Janvier 2008 – Janvier 2010), cinq patients ont bénéficié de cette approche à trois étapes. Une analyse rétrospective des caractéristiques médicales des patients, de leur pathologie mammaire, de leurs hospitalisations, des complications et de leurs résultats, a été effectuée. Résultats: Notre première étude a démontré que les BTPV en préopératoire permettent une anesthésie effective pour les cas-de-jour de chirurgie du sein et démontrent des bénéfices supérieurs à l'AG. Cependant, plus d'études sont à faire afin de déterminer si ces avantages perdurent si une technique optimale pour une AG pour patients non-hospitalises est employée. L'échographie pourrait contribuer à améliorer la morbidité possible associée avec les BTPV en chirurgie du sein et devrait être étudiée en profondeur. Notre seconde étude a démontré que même si le placement routinier de drains en intra-opératoire après réduction mammaire est une pratique très populaire, cela ne devrait pas être utilisé de manière routinière après les réductions mammaires. Plus d'études randomisées contrôlées ne sont pas requises. Finalement, notre troisième étude a démontré comment l'innovation en recherche en chirurgie plastique peut améliorer le résultat final, postopératoire. L'expansion mammaire sous-cutanée suivie par reconstruction avec lambeau DIEP peut être effectuée en toute sécurité et offre aux patients une reconstruction mammaire totalement autologue, avec une faible morbidité, tout en éliminant l'apparence en forme de patch des reconstructions mammaires autologues classiques. Conclusion: Ces trois différentes études illustrent bien comment la recherche en chirurgie plastique peut affecter les résultats en reconstruction mammaire. Nos deux premières études démontrent avec un niveau d'évidence très élevé (méta-analyse puis revue systématique) que des pratiques préopératoires et intra-opératoires établies peuvent être modifiées au bénéfice des patients. Finalement, nous avons démontré comment une technique chirurgicale innovatrice peut améliorer les résultats postopératoires.

Pełny tekst źródłaThe purpose of this project was to decrease of the rate of unnecessary antibiotic prescribing for pharyngitis by implementing an evidence-based training session for physicians in an outpatient pediatric setting. The PICOT question explored was, "For health providers treating children aged 4–15 presenting with sore throat, will the use of a power point training session presenting the rapid antigen detection test (RADT) with reflexive culture, combined with the ICE (ideas, concern and expectations) method, improve knowledge and reduce antibiotic prescribing compared to RADT alone in a 20 day period?"
The provider study group consisted of four pediatricians and one family practice physician ranging from 32–72 years old. Their pre-test (34.63%) and post-test (53.75%) knowledge scores were significantly different ( t = –2.3822, df = 6, p < 0.05). A total of 125 cases were sampled, 64 pre-intervention and 61 post-intervention. Pearson’s Chi Square analysis revealed homogeneity between both the groups in age (X2 = 0.94, df = 1, p = 0.33), gender (X2 = 0.64, df = 1, p = 0.42), and ethnicity (X2 = 1.29, df = 2, p = 0.53) and a decrease in overall antibiotic prescribing rates from 40.6% (n = 26) to 27.9% (n = 17). Although this was not a significant statistical reduction (p = .13), further analysis using a binomial test revealed statistically different rates of success in the accuracy of diagnosis and associated antibiotic prescribing pre-intervention (79.7%) compared to 96.7% post-intervention (p = .00; 95% CI [88.7, 99.6]). Unnecessary antibiotic exposure was reduced by 17.2%.
The most common ICE elements were thought of possible strep infection (39), viral or other infection (26), concern for pain (24), infecting other family members (14), fever (14), expectation to get better (32), test for strep (18), and pain relief (9). Only 2 of the 5 cases in the post-intervention group (n = 61) who expressed desire for antibiotics received them.

Pełny tekst źródłaBibliography
Background: Evidence-based medicine (EBM) involves the care of patients using the best available evidence from the results of good quality clinical research to guide clinical decision making 1 – 3. By incorporating the principles of Evidence-based Medicine (EBM), the family practitioner would be able to treat a patient according to the best clinical research available. This principle is implemented widely in the USA, Canada, the United Kingdom and Europe. In South Africa, however, EBM is not yet as widely incorporated into family practice. This is so despite the plethora of websites available to practitioners and the relative ease with which applicable research evidence can be found. Very few published studies are available regarding EBM or Evidence–based Practice (EBP) in the South African context. The findings of this study would thus highlight reasons and/ or barriers preventing family practitioners from implementing EBM in their respective practices. This could also lead to further research into possible methods of implementation of EBM into South African family practices. Aim: The aim of the study was to describe the perceptions, knowledge and attitudes of private practitioners regarding evidence based practice and to identify the barriers encountered in evidence based practice. Methods A questionnaire survey of general practitioners in Gauteng, South Africa, was conducted. Questionnaires were distributed to a random sample of practitioners in the Gauteng region. Two hundred and twenty one (221) practitioners participated in the survey and responded to questionnaires mailed to them. The questionnaire was mailed, faxed or e-mailed to the practitioners, which they then completed and returned for statistical analysis. Study design The study design is that of quantitative, statistical analysis (descriptive cross-sectional survey). Setting General practitioners were randomly selected from a list of practitioners in the Gauteng Province. Doing a nationwide survey would have been a mammoth undertaking. It was therefore decided to limit the research to one province and therefore it was only concentrated on practitioners practicing in the Gauteng area. Results It is interesting to note that of the two hundred and twenty one participants in this study; only 10% of the practitioners were against using EBM in their practices. This, however, stands in stark contrast to the 56% of practitioners who do not implement EBM in their practices or make use of the EBM principle at all. The major barriers preventing practitioners from implementing EBM is depicted in the following graph: Lack of time and the training in aspects of Evidence-based medicine were the main barriers preventing the full scale implementation of EBM in family practices in Gauteng. Conclusion Participating Gauteng doctors were in principle, very positive towards the implementation of EBM in their respective practices. Most of the participants agreed that EBM would benefit their patients’ care and treatment. Very few of the participants, however, make use of EBM in practice. A lack of training and time constraints were the main barriers with regards to the implementation of EBM. Proper training of medical students at undergraduate level at faculties of health sciences, would go a long way assisting prospective doctors in mastering the concept of EBM and increasing their overall awareness of EBM. Further definitive research would assist in establishing whether such awareness would be associated with improved implementation of evidence in the form of evidence based guidelines in practice.
