Evidence-Based Emergency Care: Diagnostic Testing and Clinical Decision Rules
"It is an outstanding example of the application of basic science to medical practice, and the book is unique in the way that it links epidemiological statistics and clinical realities."(Critical Care Medicine, July 2013)"The book covers most of the common diagnostic problems seen in the ED and is recommended reading for all levels from junior doctors to departmental directors. Perhaps we could even encourage some of our in-patient colleagues to read it as well!"(Life in the FastLane, 19 June 2013)"Evidence-Based Emergency Care provides a rational,  evidence-based approach to diagnostic testing. The recommendations are balanced with substantiating evidence yet always leave room for clinical judgment. One of the things I enjoyed most about this book was being able to examine actual sensitivities, specificities, and likelihood ratios of various decision instruments and diagnostic tests that I use daily.""I've been keeping this text in my bag during shifts to pull out during relevant clinical situations and discuss with the residents." (Annals of Emergency Medicine, Aug 2013)"I recommend that everyone interested in knowing how to critically read the medical literature and apply EBM read this book."(Journal of Emergency Medicine, January 2014)
