To practice evidence-based radiology, knowledge of how to critically assess the literature is vital. This article outlines how to evaluate the radiology literature by asking these questions: Is it true?, Is it relevant?, and Is it sufficient? Clinical examples are used to explain several important causes of bias, as well as to clarify how these biases can affect the relevance of a particular study to a given clinical situation. Finally, discussion centers on the strength of evidence for both positive and negative findings in a research study.
要践行循证放射学,掌握如何批判性地评估文献的知识至关重要。本文概述了通过提出以下问题来评估放射学文献的方法:它是真实的吗?它相关吗?它充分吗?文中使用临床实例来解释几种重要的偏倚原因,以及阐明这些偏倚如何影响某项特定研究与特定临床情况的相关性。最后,讨论集中在研究中阳性和阴性结果的证据强度上。
