Doody's Review
"This is an excellent resource for clinicians seeking to provide evidence-based care in emergency medicine. It is a comprehensive and reliable resource that helps reach a balance between overuse and underuse of diagnostic testing. The information is presented in a concise format that can be used during clinical encounters or for more exhaustive reviews of the literature surrounding a clinical question. As evidence-based emergency medicine is a rapidly changing and advancing field, this updated edition is certainly justified."
-- Kyle Holloway, MD, BA Psychology (Regions Hospital and Level 1 Trauma Center) - Doody's Review - previous edition
“One of the things I enjoyed most about this book was being able to examine actual sensitivities, specificities, and likelihood ratios of various decision instruments and diagnostic tests that I use daily. It was also enlightening to learn several diagnostic strategies and decision instruments that I previously had not used.”
-- Annals of Emergency Medicine, 1 August 2013
"This practical guide will be useful to anyone practicing emergency medicine. The authors are well regarded, board-certified emergency medicine physicians. The authors do an excellent job of providing clinically relevant evidence that we can use to support our daily decisions in the emergency department. Provide[s] a good summary of clinically useful information that will help each of us to make better informed, evidence-based decisions."
-- Melinda Graber, BA, MD (University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine) Doody's Review - previous edition
