| Popis: | Current health care trends and pressures have strained clinical decision making and practice patterns of practitioners. Evidence-based practice has evolved in response to these trends. Evidence-based practice requires providers to be proficient in statistical analysis and critique of the evidence. This article uses a hypothetical patient's prognostic concerns to depict a practitioner's integration of the principles of evidence-based practice as she considers clinical practice guidelines, expert opinion, and a prognostic study relative to her patient's prognosis. Statistical measures evident in a prognostic study, such as absolute risk, baseline risk, relative risk, survival curves, and hazard ratios are defined. |
