Editorial
Are all treatments equal in the eyes of EBM? In terms of systematic reviews and RCTs — perceived as the cornerstones of EBM today — the answer is no. But, as Helen Barnett and Ike Iheanacho discuss in their Editorial, systematic reviews and RCTs are not necessarily the best sources for identifying clinically useful treatments. Moves to implement a different type of research strategy for long-established interventions return to the spirit of EBM — building on the best available evidence and clinical expertise, while considering patients’ experiences and values.
