Clinical expertise in the era of evidence-based medicine and patient choice

Abstract: ScenarioYou are caring for a 68 year old man who has hypertension (intermittently controlled) with a remote gastrointestinal bleed and non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) for 3 months, and an enlarged left atrium (so cardioversion is unlikely). The patient has no history of stroke or transient ischaemic attack. His father experienced a debilitating stroke several years ago and when he learns that his atrial fibrillation places him at higher risk for a stroke, he is visibly distressed.

“…As one moves down the pyramid, there is more evidence, but the quality may decrease [18]. There are different versions of the evidence pyramid, including the 4S [19], 5S [20], 6S [21], or 9S pyramid [18], which can lead to confusion. The multitude of different pyramid models highlights the need for clarity in understanding and navigating these models.…”

“…Practitioners play a critical role in translating research findings into practice because they can use their knowledge and experience to select the most relevant and reliable information for their practice. They can then use their expertise to tailor research findings to the unique needs and situations of individual clients [19].…”

“…Practice in psychiatry may not always resonate with EBM assumptions (eg, about the nature of disease or the diagnostic categories), such that clinical decision-making is often characterised by uncertainty involving imperfect information and incomplete data. 23 While revised EBM models suggest integrating evidence with patient values and context, 24 the objective uncertainty is a primary reason why psychiatry historically has been considered less scientifically rigorous by its biomedical counterparts.…”

“…It is worth noting that most of the primary studies published to date and included in these three previous meta-analyses [ 12 , 13 , 79 ] had significant limitations. For example, most of them did not have an adequate control group or did not control for potential confounders ( Supplementary Materials ), all of which may affect the real effect of the exposition or intervention [ 80 , 81 , 82 , 83 ]; therefore, we excluded more than 50 of these studies in our systematic review [ 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 , 48 , 49 , 50 , 51 , 52 , 53 , 54 , 55 , 56 , 57 , 58 , 59 , 60 , 61 , 62 , 63 , 64 , 65 ,…”
