Summary
ENT physicians identified evidence gaps in otology, oncology, audiology, and vestibulogy. Addressing these gaps through research and improved knowledge transfer is crucial for advancing evidence-based patient care in Ear, Nose, and Throat medicine.
Area of Science:
- Otolaryngology (ENT) medicine
- Evidence-based medicine
Background:
- Medical knowledge in ENT has rapidly expanded, creating challenges in maintaining an overview and identifying actual or perceived evidence gaps.
- Traditional doctrines in clinics and practices may persist without sufficient evidence-based challenges.
- These gaps can hinder the progress of ENT medicine and the optimal evidence-based treatment of patients.
Conclusions:
- Identified evidence gaps require verification and clarification through literature research.
- Findings can guide the prioritization of future research, evidence mapping, and systematic reviews.
- Improved knowledge transfer is essential for applying research findings to daily clinical practice in ENT.
