The Journal : Current Issue
The Lancet thanks Peter Rothwell and colleagues for their detailed five-part series on applying trial data to individual patients. Focus on the individual patient was central to the development of evidence-based practice (EBP)1 and it is important that this context is emphasised throughout the series. In the first paper, the generalisability of clinical trials is called into question and medical journals are challenged to publish results in such a way that applicability is clear. Subsequent articles will reflect common clinician concerns about subgroups, meta-analyses, and risk.
