Why do we need RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIALS ?
In the early 1980s newly introducedantiarrhythmics were found to be highlysuccessful at suppressing arrhythmias.
Not until a RCT was performed was itrealized that, although these drugssuppressed arrhythmias, they actuallyincreased mortality.
The CAST trial revealed Excessmortality of 56/1000.
By the time the results of this trial were
published, at least 100,000 such patientshad been takin these dru s.

The 5 steps of EBM
1. Formulate an answerable question
2. Track down the best evidence
3. Critically appraise the evidence for validity,clinical relevance and applicability
4. Individualize, based clinical expertise and
patient concerns5. Evaluate your own performance

Example 5
Julie is pregnant for the second time. She had her first baby when she was 33 and had amniocentesisto find out if the baby had Down Syndrome. The testwas negative but it was not a good experience,because she did not get the result until she was 18
weeks pregnant. She is now 35 and 1 monthpregnant, and asks if she can have a test that wouldgive her an earlier result. The local hospital offersserum biochemistry plus nuchal translucencyultrasound screening as a first trimester test for Down syndrome.
