Corrupción de la Medicina Basada en la Evidencia – noticias de abajo

Jason Fung medium.com No es mala la idea en la que se basa la Medicina Basada en la Evidencia (MBE). Pero en la práctica, no lo es tanto. La percepción humana a menudo es defectuosa, por lo que la premisa de la MBE es estudiar aquellos tratamientos médicos en los que se han obtenido algunos éxitos. Consideremos, por ejemplo, el procedimiento de angioplastia. Entonces, ¿por qué destacados médicos han dicho que la MBE resulta en gran medida inútil?

Applying Population-Based Recommendations to Individual Patients, Jan 11

The philosophical limits of evidence-based medicine. Acad Med. 1998;73(12):1234-1240. In the last three decades, evidence-based medicine (EBM) has become the gold standard for clinical practice. In fact, physicians who forgo evidence-based recommendations in favor of treatments supported by personal experience or undocumented recommendations make themselves more vulnerable to liability and subsequent indictment and may even appear arbitrary or unscientific. Nevertheless, EBM’s rise to prominence in clinical practice has stirred up some physician opposition, particularly from older health care professionals, who perhaps better recognize the growing divide in perceived value between the art of medicine and the science (a subtlety younger generations of physicians born into a system focused on EBM may not be able to appreciate as acutely). Defining EBM. LymeMD: Babesia: an example of failed “evidence based medicine.” When I was a 3rd year med student, some 33 years ago, we wouldn’t be having this conversation.

LymeMD: Babesia: an example of failed “evidence based medicine.”

Medicine, as practiced at that time would have understood we are in the midst of a devastating epidemic. Medicine, as an art, was practiced in a slower, more methodical fashion - when MRI machines, managed care, the debasement of physicians as “providers” and “evidence based medicine” were not on the horizon. In an era devoid of CT scanners patients were admitted to hospitals for diagnostic evaluation - old fashioned tools (and emerging technology) were at least equal partners. ‎cliffordmillerlaw.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/the-real-world-failure-of-evidence-based-medicine-ijpcm-2011-12-295-300.pdf.

More heat than light is being generated by the resurgence of the debate on orthodox evidence-based medicine versus the so-called pseudo-science of alternative therapies.

Evidence-based medicine v alternative therapies: moving beyond virulence

Unfortunately the voices of medical historians and social scientists, along with those of consumers, seem to be muted. As both a researcher and user of health services, three aspects of the Friends of Science in Medicine’s’s current campaign and commentaries on it seem remarkable to me. The absent patient First, they disregard what is now commonly discussed as the patient experience – so here’s mine. In the early 1970s, I knew little of chiropractic. I took her advice and came away absolutely astonished at being asked about diet, constipation, lifestyle and having my eyes and mouth scrutinised as well as my back adjusted. In late 1979, I became ill with what was (once they had a name for it) chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). In 2002, I first attended an extraordinary medical doctor.

Evidence-based medicine – a criticism

Some readers incorrectly jump to the conclusion that we therefore support Big Pharma or ‘orthodox’ medicine. Not true: we argue for the requirement for good evidence in support of any therapeutic modality. We simply focus on CAMS, other websites focus on other modalities. We have also known for a long time how Big Pharma (where there is far more evidence in support of claims), may in fact be using edited, fabricated or poorly assessed research/studies.

The Promises And Pitfalls Of Evidence-Based Medicine

Asthma is an ideal disease for clinical practice guideline development and implementation, for the following reasons. First, it is a serious public health concern: It is the most common chronic illness of early childhood, affecting an estimated seventeen million people, including 5.6 million children, in 1999. The incidence of asthma has been rising: Asthma-related disability in children increased 232 percent between 1969 and 1995.

More than 5,000 people die each year from the condition, and asthma leads to an estimated 470,000 hospital admissions and 13.7 ambulatory care visits annually.13 Second, some of the old tenets of asthma treatment have been revised in recent decades.14 Thus, an easily identifiable “wrong” old practice and a better “updated” expert practice exist side by side.

Medicina basada en la evidencia. Una base poco sólida

Eduardo Alegría Ezquerra 03/04/2014 | Cardiología Hoy / Opinión Enviar a un amigo Nunca hasta hace poco “la evidencia” había sido la base de la medicina. Antaño eran otras: la caridad, la experiencia, el magisterio, la patoanatomía, la fisiopatología. Las últimas generaciones de médicos solo han mamado la “medicina basada en la evidencia”. Que glosen quienes lo deseen los aspectos positivos. La crítica más reiterada a la “medicina basada en la evidencia” es su poca aplicabilidad a la práctica real. La escasa fiabilidad es otra desventaja, para los más escépticos sobre todo. La medicina basada en la evidencia está rota. EBM and EBVM Bibliography.
