Born in the early nineteen nineties, evidence-based medicine (EBM) is a paradigm intended to promote the integration of biomedical evidence into the physicians daily practice. This paradigm requires the continuous study of diseases to provide the bes...
This paper summarizes an analysis of the Joint Clinical Assessment (JCA) subgroup’s recommendations for systematic literature reviews (SLRs). While the JCA offers clear guidance on study classification, exclusion criteria reporting, and PRISMA...
Background: Evidence-based medicine (EBM) improves quality by ensuring clinical decisions are based on the latest, most reliable evidence, leading to better patient outcomes, reduced practice variability, and safer care. It fosters continuous learnin...
(1) Introduction: Evidence-based medicine (EBM) is necessary to standardize treatments for infections because EBM has been established based on the results of clinical trials. Since entry criteria for clinical trials are very strict, it may cause ske...
Background: Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is increasingly used to supplement evidence-based medicine (EBM), especially in the treatment of cancer patients. Objective: The study aimed to analyze the beliefs, attitudes, and expectations...
The evolution of medical reasoning is deeply intertwined with philosophical thought, beginning with Aristotle’s foundational work in deductive logic. Aristotle’s principles significantly influenced early medical practice, shaping the work...
Background/Objectives: Evidence-based medicine (EBM) shapes most clinical guidelines. Although the advent of EBM marked a significant advancement, failure to include sex differences in the study design and analysis of most trials leads to an under-re...
The advent of Precision Medicine has globally revolutionized the approach of translational research suggesting a patient-centric vision with therapeutic choices driven by the identification of specific predictive biomarkers of response to avoid ineff...
