Chapter 7: Are the results of this clinical trial or meta-analysis statistically and clinically significant? – Eric Parent
Feel like you need a refresher on interpreting the results of studies comparing different interventions? Rusty on what a p-value is or how to understand the confidence intervals in the publications you read? This presentation will provide a refresher on some of the basics.
Chapter 8: Odds Ratios, Risk Ratios, and Number Needed to Treat – Eric Parent and Doug Gross
Practically speaking, what do these ‘relative’ statistics mean? When a paper reports ratios, how can a clinician interpret findings to guide clinical decisions? How do we know what is clinically important? If you’re confused, you’re not alone! This chapter will help you to make sense of these common statistics.
Chapter 9: Evidence-Based Practice: A Fresh Look– Doug Gross
Many physiotherapists learned the 3-part model of evidence-based practice during their entry to practice education, with overlapping circles representing best available evidence, provider expertise, and patient values and circumstances. This presentation will discuss the alignment of these 3 elements, and importantly, present solutions for when they don’t align. Is there a new way to view this old model to help us make better clinical decisions?
