Evidence-Based Reproductive Medicine: Are We Chasing Storks

Professor Johannes L.H. Evers

 

Key Points

  • EBRM is concerned with separating fact from fantasy in clinical practice.

  • It involves integrating scientific evidence with clinical expertise and tailoring it to suit the individual's needs.

  • It's aims are two-fold: (1) maximise patient care; (2) minimise redundant procedures.

  • EBRM is easily practiced by everyone.

 


Consequences of Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM)

Professor Johan Karlberg
Hong Kong

 

Key Points

  • EBM is a new concept both in the treatment of patients and in undergraduate teaching.

  • The foundation of EBM is the randomised clinical trial (RCT) - the method of choice for drug development.

  • The introduction of EBM will have important consequences: it may become unacceptable to try new therapies without evidence from RCTs or meta-analysis of several such trials.

  • Society may have to pay the additional costs entailed, especially in areas with fewer possibilities for commercial support.
