Y1 - 2019 N1 - T2 - JAMA Guide to Statistics and Methods AB - The evidence-based medicine (EBM) movement—perhaps officially launched in 1991 with the first article in the medical literature that used the term,1,2 but with antecedents that go back considerably further—advocates that systematic summaries of the highest quality relevant evidence should inform our clinical care.3-5 With this premise, clinicians should have some understanding of what constitutes more vs less trustworthy evidence. The widespread acceptance of the principle, and the corollary regarding physician familiarity with evidentiary standards, has resulted in a major change in medical education. Requirements exist throughout North America, and in many other countries, that both undergraduate and postgraduate medical training include attention to skills of accurately interpreting the medical literature.
