Short Description:

Paul Glasziou uses 28 slides to address ‘Applying the results of trials and systematic reviews to individual patients’.

Key Concepts addressed:

• 2-11 All fair comparisons and outcomes should be reported
• 2-14 Average measures of effects can be misleading
• 2-15 Fair comparisons with few people or outcome events can be misleading
• 3-3 Are the treatments practical in your setting?
• 3-5 How certain is the evidence?

Details

Paul Glasziou asks Why is applicability a problem?, What are the issues?, and How can we improve?

He introduces a “5-step” process to check on the transferability of research evidence and its application to individuals.
