Zusammenfassung

Das Konzept der evidenzbasierten Medizin hat in den letzten 10 Jahren zu einem Paradigmenwechsel im ärztlichen Denken und Praktizieren geführt. Inzwischen ist es modern geworden, von evidenzbasierter Medizin zu sprechen. Leider hat dies auch dazu geführt, dass der Begriff evidenzbasierte Medizin häufig falsch verstanden, nicht richtig angewandt, ja sogar missbraucht wird. Dieser Übersichtartikel versucht daher klarzustellen, was evidenzbasierte Dermatologie ist und was sie nicht ist. Dabei werden praktische Hinweise zu den vier Kernschritten gegeben, die für ein erfolgreiches Praktizieren evidenzbasierter Dermatologie notwendig sind. Es wird auf die zentrale Rolle systematischer Reviews eingegangen und die Arbeit der Cochrane Skin Group vorgestellt. Ergänzend werden aber auch die Limitationen der evidenzbasierten Dermatologie aufgezeigt.

Abstract

The concept of evidence based medicine (EBM) has represented a paradigm shift in medical thinking and practise in the last decade. However, we seem to be stuck with the phrase, yet it is a term that is frequently abused and misunderstood. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to clarify what evidence based dermatology (EBD) is and what it is not. Some guidance on the four key steps in practising EBM in dermatology will be given. The central role of systematic reviews will be elaborated and the Cochrane skin group introduced. Finally, the limitation of EBD will be discussed.
