-With a new preface and a new postscript.-

This work provides a thought-provoking account of how medical treatments can be tested with unbiased or 'fair' trials and explains how patients can work with doctors to achieve this vital goal. It spans the gamut of therapy from mastectomy to thalidomide and explores a vast range of case studies.

How do we know whether a particular treatment really works? How reliable is the evidence? And how do we ensure that research into medical treatments best meets the needs of patients? These are just a few of the questions addressed in a lively and informative way in Testing Treatments. Brimming with vivid examples, Testing Treatments will inspire both patients and professionals. Building on the success of the first edition, Testing Treatments has now been extensively revised and updated. The second edition includes a thought-provoking chapter on screening, explaining why early diagnosis is no.

Wie können Patienten erkennen, ob die Empfehlungen ihres Arztes auf gesichertem Wissen beruhen oder auf zufälligen Einzelerfahrungen und Vorlieben? Die Autoren sind anerkannte Experten der “evidenzbasierten Medizin”. Sie bestehen darauf, dass nur aufgeklärte und kritische Patienten dazu beitragen können, dass nutzenbringende Therapien gefördert und unnütze unterlassen werden.

The OCEBM Levels of Evidence was designed so that in addition to traditional critical appraisal, it can be used as a heuristic that clinicians and patients can use to answer clinical questions quickly and without resorting to pre-appraised sources. Heuristics are essentially rules of thumb that helps us make a decision in real environments, and are often as accurate as a more complicated decision process.
