With Internet access available to all, patients are increasingly gaining access to medical information, and then looking to their primary care physician for interpretation. Physicians encounter an "information jungle"--there were 682,121 articles recorded in PubMed in 2005. If clinicians read two articles per day, in 1 year they would be over nine centuries behind in their reading! Although several excellent services that sift and critically assess medical literature are available to physicians, they are not helpful when a patient brings in the latest article. Physicians must have basic skills in judging the validity and clinical importance of these articles. This article provides an overview of a systematic, efficient, and effective approach to the critical review of original research.
随着所有人都能接入互联网,患者越来越容易获取医学信息,然后向他们的初级保健医生寻求解读。医生们面临着一个“信息丛林”——2005年PubMed记录了682121篇文章。如果临床医生每天读两篇文章,一年下来他们的阅读量就会落后九个多世纪!尽管有几种为医生筛选和严格评估医学文献的优秀服务,但当患者带来最新文章时,这些服务并无帮助。医生必须具备判断这些文章有效性和临床重要性的基本技能。本文概述了一种对原创研究进行批判性综述的系统、高效且有效的方法。
