| Course Objectives: | The aim of the course is to ensure that students understand the importance of evidence-based laboratory medicine, learn how to obtain reliable evidence and how to use it. |
| Course Content: | What is the evidence? Why is it important? Definition of Evidence-Based Laboratory Medicine, what is its difference from Evidence-Based Medicine and why do we need it? What are the benefits? What does evidence consist of in the context of KDLT? Levels of evidence. Steps of the evidence-based laboratory medicine approach, Source Identification and Literature Review Methods, How should the evidence be evaluated, what criteria should be applied? Investigation of Evidence; PubMed; EMBASE; Cochrane Library., Evidence-Based Laboratory Medicine and Point-of-Care Testing (POCT), Results on laboratory tests including POCT, examples of the evidence base for POCT including HbA1c, ED, self-monitoring of blood glucose, and INR testing, Laboratory Medicine and Clinical Outcomes ; Application of Evidence, Diagnostic Accuracy Studies |
