Seen some interesting takes on "EBM" and its role in the current pandemic.

For me, EBM = the answer you give when patient(s)/public ask(s) "Why is/was this part of the decision?"

Disliking your answer(s) to that question doesn't = "EBM doesn't work"

On RCTs - this by @stephensenn on arguments for/against: google.co.uk/amp/s/errorsta…

“Show me how you’ll analyse something & I’ll tell you what allocations are exchangeable. If you refuse to choose one at random I’ll say, “why? Do you have some magical thinking you’d like to share?”
Any discussion on the myth of “EBM=RCTs” can’t miss this:

“..health care would be better served if investigators redirected the energy they currently expend bashing the research approaches they don’t use into increasing the validity, power, and productivity of those they do.” Image
What I love about “EBMers” (ie - people who want to best answer the patient/public question at the start of this thread), is they are their own worst critic.

Some even systematically reviewed criticisms/misconceptions of EBM. On RCT misconception: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P… Image
