Evidence-Based Medicine

The truth in Medicine as with many other sciences is markedly transitory sometimes. What is certain today may turn out to be uncertain tomorrow as new research is added to the body of evidence. The overwhelming amount of scientific publications available nowadays and the disappointingly low percentage of studies that have sound methodology and useful conclusions turns the task of keeping updated very difficult. 
Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM) is the integration of the best scientific evidence with the available resource, the patients’ wishes and the expertise of the physician. To integrate these fields, EBM uses tools such as statistics, clinical epidemiology, scientific methodology and technology.

The goal here is to produce information on health care themes which is based on sound proof, amply tested and with certified efficacy (not always feasible) thus avoiding decision based on arbitrary opinions or personal experiences only.
