Dear all,
I’m interested in coming up with a list of ten or so really key papers in the EBM literature, so as to do some citation and text analysis. By key papers I mean those that could be considered ‘statement pieces’, either advocating or criticising EBM. For example, the obvious candidates are:
• Evidence Based Medicine Working Group 1992: 'Evidence Based Medicine: A New approach to Teaching the Practice of Medicine', JAMA, 268, 2420-25.
• Rosenberg, W.M.C. and Donald, A. 1995: 'Evidence based medicine: an approach to clinical problem solving'. British Medical Journal, 310, 1122-6.
• Sackett, D., Rosenberg, W.M.C., Gray, J. A. Muir, Haynes, R. Brian and Richardson, W. S. 1996: 'Evidence based medicine: what it is and what it isn't', British Medical Journal, 312, 71-2.
• Straus, S. McAlister, F. 2000: 'Evidence-based medicine: A commentary on common criticisms' Canadian Medical Association Journal, 163, 837-841
But post-2000, potential papers become a little less obvious. My thoughts would be the following:
• Eddy, D. 2005: 'Evidence-based Medicine: A unified approach', Health Affairs, 24, 9-17.
• Montori, V.M. and Guyatt, G. 2008: 'Progress in Evidence-Based Medicine', JAMA, 300, 1814-6.
• Djulbegovic, B. Guyatt, G. Ashcroft, R. 2009: ‘Epistemologic inquiries in evidence-based medicine’, Cancer Control, 16, 158-168.
Does anyone else have any suggestions (both pre- and post-2000)?
You can reply off list ([log in to unmask]) to save unnecessary traffic and if there are plenty of responses, then I’ll send out the results of this little vox-pop in a few days.
Best,
Andrew
