 "Evidence-Based Medicine Guidelines" fills the demand for a handbook discussing the diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of diseases and conditions encountered by health care professionals. The title was first published in Finland by the Finnish Medical Society, where it is now considered to be the single most important support tool for the physicians' decision making in their daily work. What sets EBM Guidelines apart from competing books?The features are: provides physicians with fast and easy access to practice guidelines based on the best available research evidence; covers practically all medical conditions encountered in general practice; developed by over 300 experienced general practitioners and specialists worldwide; includes both diagnostic and therapeutic guidelines, and recommendations on diagnostic tests and drug dosage; presented in a user-friendly format with self contained chapters based on clinical subjects; clear and concise explanations of all available evidence results in the guideline for treatment; the strength of evidence is graded from A-D making this title a quick and easy reference whenever and wherever you need it; assumes no prior knowledge of EBM or statistics - all the work of searching and appraisal has been done for you; seeks to include guidelines where clinical evidence is incomplete or unavailable; and contains full-colour photographs and tables throughout
