Abstract:
Evidence-based medicine is a concept developed by David Sackett and colleagues since 1980 at the Medical University center MacMaster, Hamilton city, Ontario. The main idea was to propose an evaluating tool of medical practice allowing a structured way of reasoning and the elimination of self-made opinion. We present a short explanation of evidence-based medicine and compare our daily practice in obstetrics and gynecologic surgery with this new practice paradigm.
