Journal Article
The effectiveness of diagnostic tests for the assessment of shoulder pain due to soft tissue disorders
TL;DR: The results suggest that clinical examination by specialists can rule out the presence of a rotator cuff tear, and that either MRI or ultrasound could equally be used for detection of full-thickness rotators cuff tears, although ultrasound may be better at picking up partial tears.

TL;DR: Evidence-based clinical practice guidelines for interventional techniques in the diagnosis and treatment of chronic spinal pain are developed to help patients with or without anticoagulant therapy to discontinue or normalize INR.

Magnetic resonance imaging, magnetic resonance arthrography and ultrasonography for assessing rotator cuff tears in people with shoulder pain for whom surgery is being considered
Mario Lenza,Rachelle Buchbinder,Yemisi Takwoingi,Renea V Johnston,Nigel Hanchard,Flávio Faloppa +5 more
TL;DR: Compared with previous studies, there were no statistically significant differences in sensitivity or specificity between MRI and US for detecting any rotator cuff tears, or for detecting partial thickness tears, and the methodological quality of the studies was judged to be low or unclear.
Journal ArticleDOI
Appraisal Tools for Clinical Practice Guidelines: A Systematic Review
TL;DR: Most guideline appraisal tools assess whether the literature search and the evaluation, synthesis and presentation of the evidence in guidelines follow the principles of evidence-based medicine.

Identifying factors likely to influence compliance with diagnostic imaging guideline recommendations for spine disorders among chiropractors in North America: a focus group study using the Theoretical Domains Framework
André Bussières,André Bussières,Andrea M. Patey,Jill J Francis,Anne E. Sales,Jeremy M. Grimshaw,Jeremy M. Grimshaw +6 more
TL;DR: Chiropractors’ use of diagnostic imaging appears to be influenced by a number of factors and five key domains may be important considering the presence of conflicting beliefs, evidence of strong beliefs likely to impact the behavior of interest, and high frequency of beliefs.

TL;DR: The results indicated that feedback may be more effective when baseline performance is low, the source is a supervisor or colleague, it is provided more than once, and the role of context and the targeted clinical behaviour was assessed.

Clinical Epidemiology: A Basic Science for Clinical Medicine
TL;DR: Clinical Epidemiology is a book dedicated to H.L. Mencken, Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., Douglas Adams, and the Emperor's New Clothes and Physicians and others who wish to recognize key clinical epidemiologic features of the diagnosis and management of patients will benefit from reading.

Burden of major musculoskeletal conditions
TL;DR: The burden of four major musculoskeletal conditions: osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoporosis, and low back pain, which affects nearly everyone at some point in time and about 4-33% of the population at any given point is described.

Users' Guides to the Medical Literature

TL;DR: Without a way of critically appraising the information they receive, clinicians are relatively helpless in deciding what new information to learn and decide how to modify their practice.
Journal ArticleDOI
Randomized, controlled trials, observational studies, and the hierarchy of research designs.
TL;DR: The results of well-designed observational studies (with either a cohort or a case-control design) do not systematically overestimate the magnitude of the effects of treatment as compared with those in randomized, controlled trials on the same topic.
