Summary
Evidence-based medicine (EBM) has benefited patients in countless ways, but there is a disconnect between EBM and the clinical care that is typically delivered at the bedside, according to researchers from Mayo Clinic Platform. In the first of a two-part series, they suggest that by prioritizing real-world evidence over traditional randomized controlled trial (RCT) methodologies, pragmatic trials may enhance the integration of research findings into clinical care, ultimately bridging the gap between evidence-based medicine and real-world applications. This approach aligns better with the complexities of patient care, addressing criticisms of EBM while promoting improved health outcomes.
