Document Summary
Ebm is the use of current best evidence in making decisions about the care of individual patients. Evidence comes from peer reviewed original published manuscripts/journals. Evidence based recommendations: level i, level iia, level iib, level iii. Best evidence: large study with lots of people. Individuals that had a heart disease did not take hormones. Individuals that had no heart disease took hormones. Conclusion: hormone replacement therapy protects against heart disease. People who voluntarily take hormones have a lower heart disease risk. What if the people who took these were of a higher social standing/healthier. People who did not voluntarily take hormones had a high heart disease risk. In group 1, don"t tell the patient what is going on. When they took it, there was increased heart attack, stroke and great cancer. In group 2, tell the patient what is going on. When they took it, there were no negative effects.
