Background

Evidence-based medicine follows four steps:

  • formulate a clear clinical question from a patient's problem
  • search the literature for relevant clinical articles
  • evaluate the evidence for its validity and usefulness
  • implement useful findings in clinical practice

(Rosenberg, William and Anna Donald. Evidence based medicine: an approach to clinical problem-solving. BMJ 1995;310:1122-1126).
