Abstract
It is very difficult to define the entire phrase “Evidence based pediatrics”, covering all
components of this overused sentence. The definition comes out of the common sentence and
it means integration of the individual clinical expertize together with the best external
clinically available evidence of the systematic reviews which are of interest and benefit of the
individual patient.Development of clinically appropriate structured question follows PICO model, i.e.
containing following components: P=paients; I=intervention; C=comparison (standard
treatment, placebo, nothing) and O=outcome. For each type of questions a systematic review
of all available studies is better than any individual study. The search could be performed
using Boolean operators (A or B, A and B, A not B). The rationale for using systematic
reviews is minimizing bias (of the reviewer, and in the research studies themselves),
enhancement of the precision by including all the relevant evidence; putting results into
context by examining conflicts and understanding differences; helping in prioritizing the
research by knowing exactly what has been done, how well, and with what findings. Part of
the systematic review is the metaanalysis, which represents statistical analysis of a large
collection of results from individual studies for the purpose of integrating the findings.
