The Evolution of the Evidence-Based Review: Evaluating the Science Enhances the Art of Medicine—Statement of the Steering Committee for Evidence-Based Reviews of the American Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation

Year: 2005

Type: editorial

Abstract: In little more than a decade, evidence-based medicine has evolved from a theoretical—and often controversial—concept into a widely practiced methodology that can enhance the critical processes of medical decision making. Fears that evidence-based medicine would elevate the science at the expense of the art of medicine and handcuff physicians to rigid “one size fits all” practice guidelines have diminished. A thorough, systematic evidence-based review is a powerful tool to assist physicians and patients who otherwise must make choices on the basis of conventional wisdom, hearsay, and piecemeal empirical data.
