Abstract: Context.—Contrary to the intuitive impressions of many pathologists, several areas exist in laboratory medicine where evidence-based medicine (EBM) principles are not applied. These include aspects of both anatomic and clinical pathology. Some non-EBM practices are perpetuated by clinical “consumers” of laboratory services because of inadequate education, habit, or overreliance on empirical factors. Other faulty procedures are driven by pathologists themselves. Objectives.—To consider (1) severa… Show more

“…This study has value in that it provides evidence-based information regarding the diagnosis of JSRV infection. Traditionally, pathology relies on empirical knowledge to make diagnoses (Wick and Marchevsky, 2011). However, a more evidence-based approach also has merit (Fleming, 1996).…”

“…However, a more evidence-based approach also has merit (Fleming, 1996). Evidence-based medicine "depends on the use of logic and appropriate statistical methods to identify data-based concepts and procedures and separate them from observational ones" (Wick and Marchevsky, 2011). In human medicine many studies have been undertaken to assess the reliability and consistency of anatomical pathological diagnoses, both histologic and macroscopic (Fleming, 1996).…”

“…[1][2][3][4][5] With our nation's health care costs rapidly rising, the use of efficient, evidence-based, and cost-effective diagnostic approaches is of utmost importance. Evidence-based guidelines can help direct physicians toward tests that have substantial impact on patient diagnosis and treatment and steer physicians away from those that do not.…”
