We live a time when it is easier to question the value of statins to fight cholesterol or the efficacy of vaccination and replace these treatments with homeopathic substances that lack any demonstrated therapeutic effect, promoting BILIEF to the category of PSEUDO-SCIENCE, than rely on evidencebased facts supported by the SCIENTIFIC METHOD. These are challenging times for clinicians and we need...

Problem statement The research carried out aimed to encourage evidencebased cost-effective pharmaceutical prescribing, reduce medicine related adverse reactions, improve patient quality of life and reduce pharmaceutical wastage. Prescribing data was evaluated and interventions were subsequently developed in an attempt to improve pharmaceutical prescribing by General Practitioners (GPs) across a...

AIM The overall aim of this project was to develop an evidencebased CPG for the management of dyslipidemia and CKD. The guideline consists of recommendation statements, rationales, and a summary of systematically generated evidence on relevant pre-defined clinical topics. The general guideline development method is described at http://www.kdigo.org/ home/guidelines/development as well as below.

Introduction / objectives Health care associated infections (HAI) in intensive care units (ICU) can be significantly reduced or eliminated by increasing care providers’ compliance with evidencebased guidelines. Using a human factors and systems engineering approach, we conducted a qualitative study to identify the underlying causes of non-compliance with evidence-based guidelines for preventing...

Elucidating the cause of syncope is often a diagnostic challenge. At present, there is a myriad of ambulatory cardiac monitoring modalities available for recording cardiac rhythm during spontaneous symptoms. We provide a comprehensive review of these devices and discuss strategies on how to reach the elusive diagnosis based on current evidencebased recommendations.
