Описание: Written by the foremost author in the field, this book explores the principles of informal logic as applied to clinical problems and the uses of evidence in logical reasoning. It covers general concepts, theories, paradigms, and definitions; EBM reasoning at each step of a clinician's work; and decision making based on the integration of all of the above. The book describes the assessment of diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis in practical clinical medicine; clinical and community health; and methods in various quantitative and qualitative analyses, especially meta-analysis. The innovative blend of informal logic and structured evidence-based reasoning make this book stand out in a crowd.

Описание: With new methods of treatment standardisation resulting in various benefits for patient outcomes, evidence-based medicine and evidence-based practice have emerged as defining features of western healthcare provision in recent years. Most health professions are now adopting some form of 'evidence-based' framework for clinical training and practice. However, the rise of evidence-based healthcare has drawn sustained criticism regarding the limits of trial based evidence, the reductive character of epidemiological study designs, and the potential for an erosion of the importance of lay perspectives and clinical judgement. Evidence-Based Healthcare in Context introduces readers to the social, cultural and historical underpinnings of 'evidence' in healthcare, critically examining questions about what constitutes ’evidence’ and ’effectiveness’ from perspectives outside medicine, including those of patients, complementary medicine and midwifery. It focuses on the application of contemporary theoretical debates around the nature of medical and health knowledge, providing readers with a series of critical analyses of the production, application and translation of 'evidence' in a range of healthcare contexts. Featuring cutting edge work from leading social scientists in the UK, US, Canada, Norway, Australia and New Zealand, this volume draws on the latest empirical research to provide a thorough critical overview of this important field of health research.
