Quick Consult Manual of Evidence-Based Medicine

This essential medical handbook offers a concise and cogent summary of important original literature and cites primary data for common inpatient and outpatient topics in internal medicine. Typically, standard practice advice has always been presented as a combination of sound research and old habits adopted by mentors. Unlike that antiquated style of information dispersal, this book gets to the core of the teachings in original literature. The authors painstakingly explain which information is clinically useful and which advice is supported by sound research. In addition to providing prescriptions for practice patterns along with a string of references at the end of each chapter, the manual also examines the original studies and details how the primary data supports specific conclusions.
