If I get it right, it is the "best research available".So if there are no systematic reviews, you just go down the levels of evidence and pick the next best one RCT, Observational study and so forth. But as you go down the levels, the uncertainity goes up too.

This is from Sharon.E Strauss Book- Evidence Based Medicine ( How to Practice and teach it)

Thanks!

Thanks David and all,

Has anyone collated the definitions of EBM and/or EBP? Is there a consensus definition?

Many (most) of the definitions that I have seen talk about 'available evidence' but do not make it clear that this means 'all available evidence'. In my understanding, EBP is fundamentally about cumulation of evidence (usually in the form of systematic reviews). I hear, very often, health professionals, researchers and others worldwide apply erroneously the term EBP to include practice that is supported by a single research study that the practitioner has identified.

Best wishes,
Neil
