Translating best evidence into best care

Evidence-based medicine (EBM) involves asking a clinical question, identifying evidence to help answer the question, appraising the evidence, and then applying it to the care of patients. For a number of years, The Journal has been publishing structured abstracts with expert commentaries in the section entitled, “Current Best Evidence: Clinical Research Abstracts for Pediatricians.” We recognize that applying evidence to the care of patients can be challenging, and busy clinicians continue to look for concise summaries of evidence. By renaming this section of The Journal as “Current Best Evidence: Translating Best Evidence into Best Care,” we reaffirm our commitment to bringing concise summaries of the best evidence to our readers to help you provide the highest quality care to the patients you serve.
