>
>Evidence-based medicine requires an integrated assessment of
>available evidence, with its associated uncertainty. There is also
>an emphasis on decision-making, demanding consideration of values
>and costs (‘utilities’) associated with potential outcomes. We argue
>that the natural statistical framework is Bayesian decision-making,
>and propose a practical agenda for further development.
