 e scientifi c method, EBP, and clinical reasoning are not mutually exclusive
constructs.  ey are all processes that are used to answer clinically meaningful questions. What makes these processes similar are:
°  ey start by formulating a clinical question and/or hypotheses °  ey go on to establish a disciplined process that sets the rules to the game
before playing the game
°  ey play the game based on the established rules and attain a result °  ey interpret the result based on the previously established rules °  ey do not attempt to change the rules of the game if they do not like the
result
°  ese processes require metacognition related to what is and is not going well
(refl ection in action) during the game and what did and did not go well (refl ec-
tion on action) after the game is played

Research Designs and Statistics for Different Clinical Questions
If you have a specific clinical question that you would like to answer, beyond the
creation of a PICO question and finding the literature, it is essential to identify the highest level of evidence and best design to answer the question, before crit­ically appraising the study for its quality and risk of bias
A breakdown in the ability to identify and critically appraise the best available lit-
erature prevents the clinician from being able to accurately complete the process of EBP and breaks the deductive link between EBP and its application through the clinical reasoning process
e following slides do not contain information that needs to be memorized.
is information should be used as a tool to help you answer your clinical ques­tions by identifying the best available literature to answer the question
Prognosis: What is the natural history of LBP?
5.11
114
Optimal Research Design: Inception cohort
Examples of Common Statistical Representations: Survival curves
Limitations: Difficult to account for the effect of variations in “standard of care”
during the condition
5.12 Prognosis: What factors influence my patient’s outcomes?
114
Optimal Research Design: Inception cohort
Examples of Common Statistical Representations: Odds ratios/Likelihood ratios
Limitations: Difficult to account for all the factors that influence outcome (as-
sembly bias)
5.13 Diagnosis: What screening tools are best to detect the presence or absence of a
condition?
114
Optimal Research Design: Cross-sectional with comparison to “gold standard”
Examples of Common Statistical Representations:
° Reliability of the test (kappa) ° Positive and negative specific agreement ° Sensitivity ° Specificity ° Likelihood ratios
Limitations: Relies upon the validity of the gold standard; interpretation is great-
ly affected by the prevalence of the condition
5.14 What treatment is best for my patient?

Optimal Research Design:
° Low quality: case-series or group comparisons without random assignment ° High quality: randomized clinical trials ° High quality: systematic reviews and meta-analyses

—NOTES—
5.15 What outcome measure is most useful for a given patient?
114
Optimal Research Design: Longitudinal, case-series
Examples of Common Statistical Representations: ° Reliability (intraclass correlation, Cronbach alpha, standard error of measure-
ment)
° Minimal detectable change (MDC) ° Minimal clinically important difference (MCID) ° Change score
Limitations: Determining the minimal important change relies upon some out-
side reference, such as the global rating of change, that may be influenced by recall bias
Is the study valid?
5.16
To determine if your patient is like the sample that was created for a study it is
crucial to accurately perform and report the patient’s history, systems review, and the specific tests and measures performed during the examination and evaluation process
Internal validity-is an assessment of the quality of the study design to prevent
115
systematic errors or bias
External validity-are the results of the study generalizable to your patient?
116
° Did the authors create a non-randomized relationship during the sampling
process by only screening the individuals that they thought would meet the
studies criteria instead of consecutively screening all patients that presented
with the diagnosis of interest?
9
° Does the sample of patients created from the population of interest look like
your patient (age, sex, ethnicity, etc)?
° Would your patient fit the inclusion and exclusion criteria for the study?
Risk of bias-outside biases related to a study design can also occur through re-
115
searcher conduct, data analysis, and reporting of the study
° Is there any evidence of conscious or non-conscious post-randomization bias?
117
■ For example, did the researcher(s) modify the ‘primary’ and ‘secondary’
outcomes labels between protocol, trial registry, and publication, and fail to report measures of variation for non-significant outcomes?
117
5.17 If so, does it apply to the patient or patients that you treat?
Is the study’s research question like the clinical question that you are trying to
answer?
Is the sample that was created (inclusion and exclusion criteria) like the patient
or patients that you treat?
Did you perform and document the physical examination in sufficient detail to
allow you to match your variables of interest with the study’s variables of interest?
Is the study reported in sufficient detail to match your variables of interest with
the study’s variables of interest?

5.18 Reporting Guidelines for Studies
Reporting guidelines are used to ensure that a study is reported in sufficient detail
to allow for critical appraisal and to ensure that the trial is reproducible in the future
ere are different reporting guidelines for different types of studies
e Equator Network (https://www.equator-network.org/) is a website dedicat-
ed to reporting guidelines for the different major types of studies
A research study that reports having used a reporting guideline is more likely to
be published with sufficient detail to help you answer your clinical question
5.19 Diagnostic Literature
Determining the quality of diagnostic literature is based on the pathoanatomic
model and compares a clinical test to a pathoanatomic reference (gold) standard such as radiographs, MRI, or arthroscopy
Compares a reference standard to clinical test in a specific population
Routine referral for diagnostic imaging in patients with knee and LBP provides
little to no benefit for the patient
118
Additionally, LBP imaging has been shown to be related to higher medical costs,
increased health care utilization, and increased absence from work hinder recovery
120
119
and may
e commonly used reporting guideline is the STARD (https://www.equa-

)
5.20 Levels of Evidence for Diagnostic Studies
121
Level 1 = Testing of previously developed diagnostic criteria in a series of consec-
utive patients with a universally applied reference gold standard
° A systematic review of level 1 studies
Level 2 = Development of diagnostic criteria based on consecutive patients with
a universally applied reference gold standard
° A systematic review of level 2 studies
Level 3 = Study on non-consecutive patients without a consistently applied ref-
erence gold standard
° A systematic review of level 3 studies ° Case-control study with a poor reference standard ° Expert opinion based on the best available evidence and/or expert panel con-
sensus
Sensitivity
5.21
122
SnNout illustrates the clinical utility of sensitivity. SnNout means that a test with
high sensitivity (Sn) that is negative (N), helps to rule out something (out)
It is essential to understand that a test that is high in sensitivity that is not specific
does not answer a specific, meaningful question during a physical exam when it is positive
Sensitivity is an essential characteristic of a screening test
° Rule out serious pathology ° Rule conditions out by region
Helps the clinician decide early during an exam if they should
° Evaluate and treat, ° Evaluate and refer, or ° Refer
An example of a screening test with high sensitivity is the Ottawa Ankle Rules
5.22 Specificity
122
SpPin illustrates the clinical utility of specificity. SpPin tells us that a test with a
high specificity (Sp) that is positive (P) helps to rule something (in)

A specific test is most helpful when performed near the end of a clinical examina-
https://t.me/med1917
tion to verify the clinician’s primary hypothesis after completing active, passive, and resistive range of motion
is may help to prevent cognitive errors related to verification bias, premature
anchoring, and premature closure
A specific test that is not sensitive that is found to be negative when performed
at the end of a physical exam suggests that the clinician has missed something
—NOTES—
5.23
Positive and Negative Likelihood Ratios
123
A likelihood ratio is a test’s ability to modify the pretest probability of a diagnosis
being present or absent to the post-test probability of a diagnosis being present or absent
e pretest probability is the probability that an individual has a diagnosis before
the test is carried out. It is based on variables such as the patient’s age, symptoms, epidemiological data, and clinical experience of the practitioner
e post-test probability is the probability that an individual with a specific test
result has the diagnosis of interest following the test
Positive likelihood ratio (LR+)
° Reflects the probability that a person who tests positive DOES have the disor-
der
° e threshold for a moderate or greater shift in the post-test probability that
the participant has the diagnosis occurs through a LR+ ≥ 5
Negative likelihood ratio (LR-)
° Reflects the probability that a person who tests negative really DOES NOT
have the disorder
° e threshold for a moderate or greater shift in the post-test probability that
the participant does not have the diagnosis occurs through a LR- ≤ 0.20
5.24 Challenges of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies
124
Pathoanatomic findings are a common finding in the asymptomatic population
and pathoanatomic changes naturally increase with age
Measures of diagnostic accuracy are viewed through a pathoanatomic perspective
e primary premise is that pathoanatomy is the “cause” of the participant’s
primary symptomatic complaint
One of the significant challenges for the pathoanatomic model as the “cause” of
a patient’s symptoms is we know that patients can be symptom-free in the pres­ence of pathoanatomic findings and that they may have symptoms without any pathoanatomic changes
e diagnostic accuracy of the clinical test is determined by comparing it to a
pathoanatomic gold standard, such as an MRI or arthroscopy
Although a thorough discussion of the determination of diagnostic accuracy
from a pathoanatomic perspective is outside the scope of the monograph, I will discuss these terms as they relate to the clinical reasoning process
5.25 Common Problems with Diagnostic Studies
ere may not be a “gold” or “reference standard” for the diagnosis
Starts with the conrmation bias of assuming that pathoanatomy is the “cause” of
the patient’s symptoms
Pathoanatomic findings are sensitive where a negative test is useful in ruling out
a pathoanatomic cause of the patient’s primary symptomatic complaint
Positive pathoanatomic results do not mean that pathoanatomy is the “cause” of
the patient’s primary symptomatic complaint

5.26 Common Biases in Diagnostic Studies
124
Sampling bias- only screened participants that were thought to meet inclusion/
exclusion criteria instead of screening all potential participants with the condi­tion
Verification bias- when not all participants are assessed by the reference standard
in the same fashion
° Can lead to overestimation of accuracy
Incorporation bias- reference standard is included in the diagnostic test being
studied
° May occur when the examiner is not blinded to the diagnostic test result and
clinical condition of the participants
Spectrum bias- participants are not representative of the population in which the
test is likely to be used

Should also have a spectrum of the disorder (mild to severe)
5.27 Other Potential Pitfalls of Diagnostic Tests
124
e intended purpose of the test is not clearly defined
Lack of clarity in the description of the test performed
Lack of clarity in the description of the test interpretation
Judged by an examiner who is not blinded to the results of the reference study
5.28 What are the questions that need to be answered when reading a diagnostic
121
study?
Are the results valid?
° Did the clinician face diagnostic uncertainty? ° Was there an independent blind comparison with a reference standard? ° Did the results influence the decision to perform the reference standard? ° Were the methods for conducting the test described in enough detail to allow
for replication in future studies?
What are the results?
° Are the test likelihood ratios or the data required to calculate them present?
How can I apply the results to patient care?
° Will reproducibility and interpretation of the test results be satisfactory in my
setting?
° Are the results applicable to my patient? ° Will the result change my management of the patient? ° Will the patient be better off as a result of the test?
What are some tools that can be used to assess the quality of a diagnostic study?
5.29
