Best evidence has no bearing on quality of life if it is not implemented in clinical practice. The authors introduce knowledge translation as a theoretical framework for closing the gap between evidence and practice in plastic surgery. The current state of published evidence in plastic surgery is reviewed and evaluated, with the recommendation to use the EQUATOR Network's guidelines for reporting clinical research findings. Tools and strategies are offered for the reader to understand and integrate evidence at the bedside. Systemic solutions are also proposed for the dissemination of best evidence to facilitate its translation into practice.
如果最佳证据不能在临床实践中得到实施，那么它对生活质量就没有任何影响。作者将知识转化作为一种理论框架引入整形外科学，以缩小证据与实践之间的差距。本文回顾和评估了当前已发表的整形外科学证据，并建议使用 EQUATOR 网络的临床研究结果报告指南。为了帮助读者在床边理解和整合证据，本文还提供了工具和策略。还提出了系统性的解决方案来传播最佳证据，以促进其转化为实践。
