The aim of this study is to conduct a bibliometric analysis of articles on evidence-based medicine. Using Bibliometrix and VOSviwer software, the most efficient author, country, organization, and journals were identified. Web of Science articles between the years of 1975-2019 were downloaded with a search strategy and analyzed with Bibliometrix and VOSviwer software. It has been observed that evidence-based medicine articles were grouped under three main clusters (Management and Decision Support, Drug and Experiment and Measurment). The first three countries that have the highest international collaboration rate are Switzerland, New Zealand, and Sweden. The first five countries regarding publication numbers are the USA, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and Germany. While Khan and Green have the highest grade in h and g index; Baglı, Castagnetti and Fossum have the highest grade in m index. Guyatt is the author who has the highest number of citations whereas Phillips is the one who has the most publications. While, on one hand, evidence-based medicine extends its function in illness and drug treatments, on the other hand, it is used as policy input to improve the education, curriculum, and the health system. Policy-makers, decision-makers, educators, and researchers can develop strategies according to the findings identified above.

Based Medicine

In an era of evidence-based medicine, policy-makers and researchers are preoccupied by the task of ensuring that advances in research are implemented in routine clinical practice. This preoccupation has spawned a small but growing research industry of its own, with the development of resources such as the Cochrane Collaboration database and journals such as Evidence-Based Mental Health. In this paper, I adopt a philosophically quite unfashionable methodology – introspection – to address the question: how has research affected my practice?

SUMMARYThis paper describes the process of preparing a Clinical Guideline for “NICE”, the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence in the United Kingdom. The procedure involves the group appointed to prepare the guideline relating to the various “stakeholders” who have an interest on the one hand, and satisfying the fairly demanding standards set by NICE on the other. The strengths and limitations of the approach based on evidence based medicine are discussed.

SUMMARYSeveral discernible trends have changed the outlook of psychiatric resources available to the general public during the last 50 years in Western countries and particularly in Italy. Among these trends, two conflicting issues are here outlined. On the one side, evidence based medicine is the core of a methodological revolution, which asks for a deeper criticism of subjective judgements in clinical matters; on the other side, the study of emotions and attitudes has stressed the outstanding importance of conscious and unconscious expectations both in patients and in caregivers. Moreover, popular psychology has altered the way mental disorder is commonly perceived and treated. A comprehensive way of taking into account these three diverse trends seems to be still lacking.

BackgroundThe increasing use of the methods of evidence-based medicine to keep up-to-date with the research literature highlights the absence of high-quality evidence in many areas in psychiatry.AimsTo outline current uncertainties in the maintenance treatment of bipolar disorder and to describe some of the decisions involved in designing a large simple trial.MethodWe describe some of the strategies of evidence-based medicine, and how they can be applied in practice, focusing specifically on the area of bipolar disorder.ResultsOne of the key clinical uncertainties in the treatment of bipolar disorder is the place of maintenance drug treatments and their relative efficacy. A large-scale study, the Bipolar Affective Disorder: Lithium Anticonvulsant Evaluation (BALANCE) trial, is proposed to compare the effectiveness of lithium, valproate and the combination of lithium and valproate.ConclusionsProviding reliable answers to key clinical questions in psychiatry will require new approaches to clinical trials. These will need to be far larger than previously appreciated and will therefore need to be collaborative ventures involving front-line clinicians.

Managed care is a phrase on the lips of every US psychiatrist. Some believe that this revolution in health care has brought US doctors kicking and screaming into the age of ‘cost-effective’, ‘evidence-based medicine’ (Mechanic, 1997). But most psychiatrists I interviewed from Boston, San Francisco and New York, thought it had transformed them from autonomous professionals to automatons.

Objective. The objective of this study was to analyze the 100 top-cited systematic reviews/meta-analyses on diabetic research. Methods. The Science Citation Index Expanded database was searched to identify top-cited studies on diabetic research up to March 4th, 2020. Studies were analyzed using the following characteristics: citation number, publication year, country and institution of origin, authorship, topics, and journals. Results. The 100 top-cited diabetic systematic reviews/meta-analyses were published in 43 different journals, with Diabetes Care having the highest numbers (n=17), followed by The Journal of the American Medical Association (n=14) and Lancet (n=9). The majority of studies are published in the 2000s. The number of citations ranged from 2197 to 301. The highest number of contributions was from the USA, followed by England and Australia. The leading institution was Harvard University. The hot topic was a risk factor (n=33), followed by comorbidity (n=27). Conclusions. The 100 top-cited systematic reviews/meta-analyses on diabetic research identify impactful authors, journals, institutes, and countries. It will also provide the most important references to evidence-based medicine in diabetes and serve as a guide to the features of a citable paper in this field.
