What is EBN?
“The conscientious, explicit, and judicious use of current best external evidence in making decisions about the care of individual patients. Practicing EBN requires the integration of individual clinical expertise, proficiency, judgment, and compassion with the best available evidence from systematic and relevant basic science and clinical research.”

Goals of the EBN Course
• Primary– To learn how to find the best available evidence– To learn how to critically appraise an article– To learn about the different types of studies and
methodologies• Therapy, diagnosis, prognosis, harm, economic analysis,
guidelines, decision analysis...• Meta-analysis, RCTs, cross-over, case-control, cohort…
• Secondary– Stay up-to-date with current neurological literature

Steps:1. Develop a clinical question2. Search for the best available evidence3. Critical appraisal of the evidence for its validity, impact and applicability4. Integrate the results of the critical appraisal with our clinical expertise and patient’s values
How do we practice EBN?

EBN topic selection
• At the end of each academic year, residents get together and create a list of potential topics for the upcoming year
• Final topics are decided upon by Dr. Jenkins and Dr. Burneo
• Each resident is responsible for 1-2 topics per year– Pgy 1 & 5 will review 1 topic– Pgy 2-4 will review 2 topics
• Total 18-20 topics per year

When it’s your turn...
1. Develop a focused clinical question based on a “real” clinical scenario2. Literature search
a. Develop a search strategy e.g. MeSH, keywords, limits...b. Search databases e.g. PubMed, SUMSearch, Cochrane...
3. Final article selection- Discuss with Dr. Jenkins / Dr. Burneo
