Applying randomized controlled trial evidence
Assess patient similarities, treatment feasibility, benefits and harms, patient views, and internal validity
In relation to the statistical results and treatment effects from the article that has been critically appraised, ask these questions when making an applied clinical decision based on randomized controlled trial evidence:
1. Is the patient so different from those in the study that its results cannot apply?
2. Is the treatment feasible in the current setting?
3. What are the patient's potential benefits and harms from the therapy?
4. What are the patient's values and expectations for both the treatment and the outcome?
5. Were all the important predictor, confounding, and outcome variables considered?
