A New Direction for Sleep: New OSA guidelines fuel another evidence-based medicine debate
Recent publication of practice parameters for surgery in adults with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) has set off another round of debate on the need for otolaryngologists to get involved in generating their own guidelines. Although otolaryngologists have yet to agree on whether or not the time is right for guidelines on surgical treatment for sleep apnea, consensus can be claimed regarding the need perceived by the American Academy of Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery (AAO-HNS) to get on the evidence-based bandwagon.
Hoarseness Guidelines Continue to Draw Scrutiny: Panel members question evidence-based criteria
The newly adopted clinical practice guidelines (CPG) on hoarseness—and concerns that portions are overly simplistic and could harm care—took center stage here in a panel discussion at the Annual Meeting of the American Society of Pediatric Otolaryngology, part of the Combined Otolaryngology Spring Meetings held here April 28-May 2.
Allergy Research Gets High Evidence-Based Medicine Rankings
Several treatments for allergy-related disease have high-quality evidence to support them, according to panelists at a seminar in Chicago at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery (AAO-HNS), which focused on evidence-based medicine as the model applies to allergy.
Evidence-Based Medicine: Adjusting to a Culture Shift in Health Care
It has been suggested that since its introduction in 1992, the term evidence-based medicine (EBM) has reached almost iconic status within the medical lexicon.
Evidence-Based Research: The Foundation for Treatment Decisions
Evidence-Based Medicine Comes to Otolaryngology
Not long ago, physicians routinely decried evidence-based medicine (EBM) as an encroachment on their professional autonomy, a barrier to good patient care, insensitive to health care’s growing complexity, and at odds with the transcendent value of the physician-patient relationship.
