Description
Here's quick access to evidence-based recommendations for the diagnosis and management of 41 acute medical conditions. For each condition,
there is a four-page guide with brief, bulleted text that outlines symptoms, investigation, therapy, and more. Recommendations are made
based on a systematic review of available evidence using approved EBM methods. The weight of each recommendation is graded using the
letters A through D, with no additional EBM jargon or statistics. This pocketbook allows readers to reap the benefits of evidence-based
research without all the hard work!
Audience
