Fantastic reading for me: Iain Chalmers. The lethal consequences of failing to make use of all relevant evidence about the effects of medical treatments: the need for systematic reviews. In: Treating individuals: from randomised trials to personalised medicine, edited by P. Rothwell, London:Lancet, 2007, p. 37-58. dott. Federico Barbani Healthcare Purchasing Unit Health Authority Modena via San Giovanni del Cantone 23 41121 MODENA, Italy _____ Da: Evidence based health (EBH) [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Per conto di Mark Ayson Inviato: mercoledì 5 ottobre 2011 2.53 A: [log in to unmask] Oggetto: Dear EBH people I am going to present to my research colleagues an intro to EBH and as part of explaining the need for this discipline, I wanted to give them some examples of effective treatments that were not taken up by any health professional for some years after the evidence was published. The only example I can think of at present is the head movement system to treat benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. Can you help me please?
