He published a treatise describing the results of this experiment in 1753. An early critique of statistical methods in medicine was published in 1835. The term "Evidence-based medicine" was introduced in 1990 by Gordon Guyatt of McMaster University. === Clinical decision making === Alvan Feinstein's publication of Clinical Judgment in 1967 focused attention on the role of clinical reasoning and identified biases that can affect it.

In 1972, Archie Cochrane published Effectiveness and Efficiency, which described the lack of controlled trials supporting many practices that had previously been assumed to be effective.
In 1973, John Wennberg began to document wide variations in how physicians practiced.
Through the 1980s, David M.
In the mid 1980s, Alvin Feinstein, David Sackett and others published textbooks on clinical epidemiology, which translated epidemiological methods to physician decision making.
Toward the end of the 1980s, a group at RAND showed that large proportions of procedures performed by physicians were considered inappropriate even by the standards of their own experts. === Evidence-based guidelines and policies === David M.
Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) began issuing guidelines for preventive interventions based on evidence-based principles in 1984.
In 1985, the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association applied strict evidence-based criteria for covering new technologies.
Eddy first began to use the term "evidence-based" in 1987 in workshops and a manual commissioned by the Council of Medical Specialty Societies to teach formal methods for designing clinical practice guidelines.
Beginning in 1987, specialty societies such as the American College of Physicians, and voluntary health organizations such as the American Heart Association, wrote many evidence-based guidelines.
For example, in 1989 the U.S.

Eddy first published the term "evidence-based" in March, 1990, in an article in the Journal of the American Medical Association that laid out the principles of evidence-based guidelines and population-level policies, which Eddy described as "explicitly describing the available evidence that pertains to a policy and tying the policy to evidence instead of standard-of-care practices or the beliefs of experts.
A rationale must be written." He discussed "evidence-based" policies in several other papers published in JAMA in the spring of 1990.
Those papers were part of a series of 28 published in JAMA between 1990 and 1997 on formal methods for designing population-level guidelines and policies. === Medical education === The term "evidence-based medicine" was introduced slightly later, in the context of medical education.
In the autumn of 1990, Gordon Guyatt used it in an unpublished description of a program at McMaster University for prospective or new medical students.
For example, UpToDate was created in the early 1990s.
In 1991, Kaiser Permanente, a managed care organization in the US, began an evidence-based guidelines program.
In 1991, Richard Smith wrote an editorial in the British Medical Journal and introduced the ideas of evidence-based policies in the UK.
In 1993, the Cochrane Collaboration created a network of 13 countries to produce systematic reviews and guidelines.
The Cochrane Collaboration began publishing evidence reviews in 1993.
BMJ Publishing Group launched a 6-monthly periodical in 1995 called Clinical Evidence that provided brief summaries of the current state of evidence about important clinical questions for clinicians. === Current practice === By 2000, use of the term "evidence-based" had extended to other levels of the health care system.
Guyatt and others first published the term two years later (1992) to describe a new approach to teaching the practice of medicine. In 1996, David Sackett and colleagues clarified the definition of this tributary of evidence-based medicine as "the conscientious, explicit and judicious use of current best evidence in making decisions about the care of individual patients.
Those papers were part of a series of 28 published in JAMA between 1990 and 1997 on formal methods for designing population-level guidelines and policies. === Medical education === The term "evidence-based medicine" was introduced slightly later, in the context of medical education.
In 1997, the US Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ, then known as the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research, or AHCPR) established Evidence-based Practice Centers (EPCs) to produce evidence reports and technology assessments to support the development of guidelines.
In 1999, the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) was created in the UK. On the medical education side, programs to teach evidence-based medicine have been created in medical schools in Canada, the US, the UK, Australia, and other countries.
BMJ Publishing Group launched a 6-monthly periodical in 1995 called Clinical Evidence that provided brief summaries of the current state of evidence about important clinical questions for clinicians. === Current practice === By 2000, use of the term "evidence-based" had extended to other levels of the health care system.
First released in September 2000, the Oxford CEBM Levels of Evidence provides 'levels' of evidence for claims about prognosis, diagnosis, treatment benefits, treatment harms, and screening, which most grading schemes do not address.
For example, between 2003 and 2017, the evidence shifted on hundreds of medical practices, ranging from whether [replacement therapy] was safe to whether babies should be given certain vitamins to whether antidepressant drugs are effective in people with Alzheimer's disease.
Once all the best evidence is assessed, treatment is categorized as (1) likely to be beneficial, (2) likely to be harmful, or (3) evidence did not support either benefit or harm. A 2007 analysis of 1,016 systematic reviews from all 50 Cochrane Collaboration Review Groups found that 44% of the reviews concluded that the intervention was likely to be beneficial, 7% concluded that the intervention was likely to be harmful, and 49% concluded that evidence did not support either benefit or harm.
A 2009 study of UK programs found the more than half of UK medical schools offered some training in evidence-based medicine, although there was considerable variation in the methods and content, and EBM teaching was restricted by lack of curriculum time, trained tutors and teaching materials.
In 2011, an international team redesigned the Oxford CEBM Levels to make it more understandable and to take into account recent developments in evidence ranking schemes.
Related to e-learning, medical school students have engaged with editing Wikipedia to increase their EBM skills, including teaching students to construct EBM materials as developing the skills of communicating medical knowledge. == See also == == References == == Bibliography == == External links == Evidence-Based Medicine – An Oral History, JAMA and the BMJ, 2014.
