| description | Abstract This website provides access to a set of calculators and interactive online exercises for the practice and teaching of evidence-based medicine and decision analysis. Major concepts presented include interpretation of diagnostic tests (calculation of test statistics, visualization of test results, and an online self-quiz), calculation of number needed to treat/harm in randomized controlled trials, approaches to the assessment of patient utility (including holistic and multiattribute utility assessments), and demonstrations of Markov models and cost-effectiveness analysis. The calculators on the webpage have been widely and internationally used in the practice of evidence-based medicine. Although there are some similar resources, many of these have stronger requirements for the web browser (e.g., JavaScript), which may limit their usability. |
