What is evidence-based medical evidence?

Evidence-based medicine (EBM) means "evidence-based medicine", also known as empirical medicine, which is also translated into evidence medicine in Hongkong and Taiwan Province. Its core idea is medical decision-making (that is, the treatment of patients, the formulation of treatment guidelines and medical policies, etc.). ) should be based on the best clinical research available, and attach importance to combining personal clinical experience.

Professor David Sackett, one of the founders of evidence-based medicine, once again defined evidence-based medicine as "prudently, accurately and wisely applying the best research foundation available at present, combining doctors' personal professional skills and years of clinical experience, taking into account patients' values and wishes, and making treatment measures for patients".

Evidence-based medicine is different from traditional medicine. Traditional medicine is based on empirical medicine, that is, treating patients according to non-experimental clinical experience, clinical data and basic knowledge of diseases. Evidence-based medicine does not want to replace clinical skills, clinical experience, clinical data and medical expertise, but only emphasizes that any medical decision should be based on the best scientific evidence.
