Aims and Objectives
|
In the 21st century a clinician must be capable at facilitating shared decision making with patients. The evidence for competing
interventions in the field of LUTS and POP is increasingly complex. Furthermore, clinicians must master the skill of
presenting this evidence for patients. A sound interpretation of estimates of harms and benefits is therefore vital. This workshop
provides important principles of evidence based medicine (EBM) to ICS members, and enhances their interpretation of
evidence and skills for shared decision-making.This workshop is supported by 5 videos which can be watched in advance here https://www.ics.org/news/979
Learning Objectives - Workshop attendees will learn:
A. How the GRADE approach can be used to summarise and rate a body of evidence.
B. How to judge the risk of bias in randomised trials and observational studies.
- C. How to assess inconsistency of results as well as indirectness and imprecision of evidence.
D. How to compare and present different measures of effect size and understand the difference between patient
importance and statistically significance.
- E. How to interpret odds ratios for common conditions.
F. How to use decision aids to enable shared decision making for complex choices in clinical encounter.
