How to Read a Paper describes the different types of clinical research reporting, and explains how to critically appraise published research. It provides the necessary tools to find and evaluate the literature, and then implement the findings in an evidence-based, patient-centred way. Written for anyone in the health care professions who has little or no knowledge of evidence-based medicine, it is an engaging introduction that provides a clear understanding of the principles of evidence-based medicine and how to put them into everyday practice.The fifth edition will retain the same accessible language and style of previous editions and the same organizational structure as the successful fourth edition. All chapters will be fully updated to reflect recent developments and current practice. It will also incorporate many of the comments and suggestions made to the author by readers of previous editions.This new edition will include two new chapters. The first, Applying evidence with patients', will discuss both why and how patients should be involved in decision-making. Among other things, it will cover decision-making tools such as decision grids and the use of measures such as patient reported outcomes measures (PROMs).The second new chapter will address Criticisms of evidence-based medicine. This chapter will summarise the current debate on the shortcomings and merits of evidence-based medicine and suggest further reading.References and further reading suggestions will be updated throughout the text.The Appendices will include useful checklists for each of the preceding chapters. These checklists summarise the key points of each chapter and provide a useful framework when putting the principles of evidence-based medicine into practice.
