Systematic Reviews

Medical Jargon BUSTED: The Ultimate Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM) Glossary. Ever wondered why research takes years to reach medical practice? There isn't a hidden path from medical research to patient care if you break it down into steps, bridging the research-practice gap. You can then begin to understand why medical research often goes unused, and it is difficult to transform research into better patient care. Feeling lost in a sea of complex medical terms whenever you try to understand health research or your doctor's advice? This video breaks down the essential vocabulary of evidence-based medicine, empowering you with the clarity as to what it means for informed health decisions. Alternative terms such as knowledge transfer of KT, EBP, EBHC, Research translation, etc. are compared and contrasted. Glossary of Terms for Healthcare Research is a project based on terms defined in Professor Khalid Khan's books. 3rd Edition of Professor Khalid Khan's award-winning ...

Elder abuse, a critical human rights concern and public health issue, has been extensively studied in recent years. Various reviews have consolidated primary research to assess its prevalence. This vlog presents an umbrella review highlighting the significantly high estimated global prevalence rate of elder abuse in both community and care settings. Despite challenges like evidence quality and variability, it is undeniable that elder abuse is pervasive with a broad impact. The emphasis should now turn towards implementing interventions and policies to combat this type of abuse.

In health and medical sciences, with developments in computing, there is a rapid growth in data both in form of “Big” registries and published papers. Both offer opportunities to perform statistically powerful analyses, but each has its inherent challenges. Large datasets, in theory, offer consistent data, an assumption that ought to be tested concerning data quality in each project. Published studies that assess the same outcome but in different scenarios introduce the problem of variability in the results obtained by different researchers. A systematic review scientifically collates and investigates the literature to objectively summarize the evidence related to the research topic, using meta-analysis to statistically synthesize the results of individual studies where appropriate. These reviews can be used to underpin guidelines and recommendations. Evidence synthesis is also the essential ingredient for evidence-based medicine .
