The first and earliest principle of evidence-based medi-cine indicated that a hierarchy of evidence exists. Not all evidence is the same. This principle became well

  2. The grading system provides an important component in evidence-based medicine and assists in clinical decision making. For example, a strong recommendation is given when there is level I evidence and consistent evidence from Level II, III and IV studies available.

    The Evidence-Based Medicine Pyramid is simply a diagram that was created to help us understand how to weigh different levels of evidence in order to make health-related decisions. It helps us put the results of each study design into perspective, based on the relative strengths and weaknesses of each design. Allow me to be your guide as we tour the...

    The first level of the Evidence-Based Pyramid is the foundation. This background information is important and helpful. However, when viewed on its own, this type of evidence can be heavily influenced by beliefs, opinions, or even politics. This level might also include anecdotal evidence.

    This level represents the first stage of testing an observation. Case Series reports usually include only a few participants who are given a similar intervention and follow-up. Case Control Studies are similar to case series, except it looks retrospectively at individuals and compares with a similar group who did not have the intervention. These st...

    Also called longitudinal or epidemiological studies, Cohort studies follow a large group of people over an extended period of time to see how their exposures affect their outcomes. This type of study is normally used to look at the effect of suspected risk factors that cannot be controlled experimentally – for example, the effect of smoking on lung...

    Now we have reached a major point in the Pyramid – the Randomized Control Trial, the true experimental design. In this study design, individuals are assigned by special randomization techniques into two or more groups, where one group receives the intervention under investigation and the other(s) receives no treatment, a placebo, or a standard inte...

    Critically appraised topics are not actually a study design. They are short summaries of the best available evidence. Basically, these are an abbreviated systematic review created to answer a specific question.

    Now we have finally arrived at the pinnacle of the Evidence-Based Medicine Pyramid. From this dizzying height, we take in a panoramic view of all of the evidence about an intervention. Systematic reviews take a bird’s eye view by comparing the results of studies side by side, typically on a forest plot. Systematic reviews are considered the stronge...

  4. The Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM) movement, undoubtably one of the most successful movements in medicine, questions dogma and “clinical authority” and combines the “best available evidence” with clinical expertise and patient values in order to provide the best care for the individual patient.
