Crackcast & Physicians As Humans On Canadiem

CanadiEM Journal Club E04 Systematic reviews and meta analyses show notes Welcome back to Journal Club by CanadiEM! In this episode we go over an approach to systematic reviews and meta analyses based on Oxford centre of EBM, and learn about diagnosing pneumothorax with ultrasound vs X-ray Using the Oxford centre of EBM tool, we will ask: What question(s) did the systematic review address? Is it likely that important, relevant studies were missed? Were the criteria used to select articles for inclusion appropriate? Were the included studies sufficiently valid for the type of question asked? Were the results similar from study to study? What were the results? What is the clinical significance of the results? and then a clinical pearl on pneumothorax!!
