(Evidence-Based Medicine) 1st Edition
by Errol R. Norwitz (Editor), Carolyn M. Zelop (Editor), David A. Miller (Editor), David L. Keefe (Editor)
The most comprehensive evidence-based guide to both obstetrics and gynecology
Aimed at practicing obstetricians, gynecologists, and trainees in the specialty, Evidence-based Obstetrics and Gynecology
concentrates on the clinical practice areas of diagnosis, investigation
and management. The first section of the book discusses evidence-based
medicine methodology in the context of the two specialties. The second
and third sections cover all the major conditions in obstetrics and
gynecology, with each chapter reviewing the best available evidence for
management of the particular condition. The chapters are structured in
line with EBM methodology, meaning the cases generate the relevant
clinical questions.
