- 7. Identify the highest levels of evidence expose, understand, and search
- 8. We try to find evidence that was researched using these high-level study designs. Sometimes, the only evidence we can find is from mid-level evidence. Low-level evidence should only be used for background information.

- PICO is an acronym for:Patient or ProblemHow would you describe a group of patients similar to yours? What are the most important characteristics of the patient? This may include the primary problem, disease, or co-existing conditions. Sometimes the sex, age, or ethnicity of a patient might be relevant to the diagnosis or treatment of a disease.InterventionWhich main intervention, prognostic factor, or exposure are you considering? What do you want to do for the patient? Prescribe a drug? Order a test? Order surgery? What factor may influence the prognosis of the patient? Age? Co-existing problems? What was the patient exposed to? Asbestos? Cigarette smoke?ComparisonWhat is the main alternative to compare with the intervention? Are you trying to decide between two drugs, a drug and no medication or placebo, or two diagnostic tests? Your clinical question may not always have a specific comparison.OutcomeWhat can you hope to accomplish, measure, improve or affect? What are you trying to do for the patient? Relieve or eliminate the symptoms? Reduce the number of adverse events? Improve function or test scores?Not trying to cure prostate cancer, just address hot flashesP – using actual term for prostate cancerI – alternate spellings/alternate termsC – is there an alternate?O – MESH term, think of as many searchable terms/spellings you can (show later in databases how to see these)
- This question guides how we do our research
- High level info: how and what was searched and is repeatableMid-level is where you find most informationLower-level is often literature based on perspective of just a few researchers, not rigorous enough to make a clinical decision, is often biasedQuick suggestions to find BACKGROUND INFOSearch by disease or therapy.Look for graded recommendations.Use the list of references in your own search for evidence.WHERE SHOULD I START SEARCHING?Identify your questions about the standard of practice, disease, treatment, or population characteristics.Use background sources to find answers to these questions.Once you feel comfortable with your knowledge on the topic, look for systematic reviews, current studies, guidelines in the top literature indexes.If you are unable to find any evidence, schedule an appointment with your mentor or a medical librarian. You may have identified an area that needs research.
