23
Q

Physical assessment resource

24
Q

What is a foreground question

A
  1. refers to questions related to the management of pts, which may be changing with new evidence
  2. asks for specific knowledge about managing pts with disorders
  3. in most cases, one needs to understand the background info before addressing foreground questions
25
Q

What do foreground questions ask

A
  1. for specific knowledge about managing pts with disorders

2. asked in a specific format

26
Q

Ask EBP questions in what format

27
Q

P in PICO

A

Patient or population

start with broad pt and narrow

28
Q

I in PICO

A

Interventions or exposures

29
Q

C in PICO

A

comparators

30
Q

O in PICO

A

outcomes important to the pt

31
Q

Common types of foreground questions

A

Therapy
Harm
Diagnosis
Prognosis

32
Q

Therapy questions

A
  • determine the effect of different tx on improving pt function or avoiding adverse events
  • generally RCT are preferred
33
Q

Harm questions

A
  • determine the effect of potentially harmful agents
  • for potentially harmful exposures, an RCT is not practical or ethical
  • observational studies are used, although weaker than RCT
34
Q

Diagnosis questions

A
  • establish the characteristics of a diagnostic tool

- conducted by comparing the new diagnostic tool with the gold standard

35
Q

Prognosis questions

A
  • estimate the future course of a pts disease
  • typically identify a group of pts with or without factors that modify their prognosis
  • follow pts to determine if they develop the target outcome
36
Q

How does PICO support critical appraisal

A
  • validity
  • O = importance
    P = applicability
  • focus on clinical outcomes
37
Q

The 5 D’s (patient important outcomes of disease)

A 
Death
Disease 
Discomfort 
Disability 
Dissatisfaction 
Prevent, cure, and reduce all but death
38
Q

Surrogate endpoint

A

Substitute for a clinically meaningful end point; biomarker; direct measure of how a pt feels, functions, or survives. Predicts effect of therapy

39
Q

Is lowered BP a surrogate endpoint or clinical outcome

A

Surrogate endpoint

Clinical outcome would be: death, MI, stroke, etc
