Statistics is not Evidence based medicine

 




"Evidence based medicine" refers to medicine that uses certain statistical methodology.  However, this statistical methodology is in conflict with good scientific methods and is not a proper use of evidence.

Limitations and criticism

There are a number of limitations and criticisms of evidence-based medicine.[71][72][73] Two widely cited categorization schemes for the various published critiques of EBM include the three-fold division of Straus and McAlister ("limitations universal to the practice of medicine, limitations unique to evidence-based medicine and misperceptions of evidence-based-medicine")[74] and the five-point categorization of Cohen, Stavri and Hersh (EBM is a poor philosophic basis for medicine, defines evidence too narrowly, is not evidence-based, is limited in usefulness when applied to individual patients, or reduces the autonomy of the doctor/patient relationship).[75]
