Medical knowledge and the volume of scientific articles published have expanded rapidly over the past 50 years. Evidence-based practice (EBP) has developed to help health practitioners get more benefit from the increasing volume of information to solve complex health problems. A format for sharing information in EBP is the critically appraised topic (CAT). A CAT is a standardized summary of research evidence organized around a clinical question, aimed at providing both a critique of the research and a statement of the clinical relevance of results. In this review, we explain the five steps involved in writing a CAT for a clinical purpose ("Ask," "Search," "Appraise," "Apply," and "Evaluate") and introduce some of the useful electronic resources available to help in creating CATs.
在过去的 50 年中，医学知识和科学文献的数量迅速增加。循证实践 (EBP) 的发展有助于医疗从业者从不断增加的信息量中获得更多收益，以解决复杂的健康问题。EBP 中用于共享信息的一种格式是批判性评价主题 (CAT)。CAT 是围绕临床问题组织的研究证据的标准化摘要，旨在对研究进行批判并说明结果的临床相关性。在这篇综述中，我们解释了为临床目的编写 CAT 所涉及的五个步骤（“提出问题”、“搜索”、“评价”、“应用”和“评估”），并介绍了一些有用的电子资源，以帮助创建 CAT。
