Description: Written and edited by some of the world's leading exponents of evidence-based dermatology, it takes a highly evidence-based approach to treatment of all the major and many of the less common skin conditions. The rigorous reviewing, appraisal of evidence and structured layout in the clinical chapters makes this book different from its few competitors. Best treatment recommendations are based on discussion of systematic reviews and randomized controlled using the case and question-based approach of trained researchers in evidence-based medicine. The text is enhanced with full colour illustrations introducing particular cases, and throughout tables and boxed text summarize the main conclusions, providing quick reference for clinical practice alongside the thorough research. Patient commentaries in the clinical chapters will address the growing movement in evidence-based medicine to involve patients in decision making.
