Evidence-Based Endocrinology

Meaning

Evidence-Based Endocrinology is a rigorous clinical practice model where all diagnostic and therapeutic decisions related to the endocrine system are systematically derived from the highest quality, most current scientific evidence. This approach necessitates the critical integration of data from well-designed research studies, such as randomized controlled trials, with the clinician’s specialized expertise and the unique preferences and physiological context of the patient. It mandates a continuous process of learning and appraisal to ensure that all hormonal interventions are both safe and maximally effective for the individual.
