Evidence-based Heart World

In today’s WSJ, heart disease which is the most studied illness in all of medicine only has 11% of more than 2700 recommendations supported by “high-quality” scientific testing.

About half are based on expert opinion.

I can’t imagine what percent LBP research is based on.

All of this emphasis should help those that have integrated EBP into their clinical practice-there will undoubtedly be patients asking for it and in fact “evidence based world” may soon replace “bailout”!
