  4. From EBM to EBVM ? • To survey veterinary practitioners • Have they heard about EBVM ? • Would they be interested in ? • To compare sources of information • Are they adapted to EB(V)M practice ? • To optimize users' education • Is the EBM course content suited to EBVM ? • What adaptations ?

  5. Our reference Handbook of Evidence-Based Veterinary Medicine Peter Cockcroft and Mark Holmes Blackwell Publishing, 2003

  6. Results of the e-mailed survey • Sample : 800 private "vet." interested in CE / LLL • Participation : 138 feed-back (17%) • Results : The surveyed veterinarians … • never heard about EBVM (93%) • frequently need foreground information (100%) and … • seek evidence in textbooks, journals, Internet, … (54%) • advise with respected colleagues (28%) • refer the patient (28%) • base the clinical decision on background knowledge (6%) • encounter problems during their search (60%) • have never been trained in information sciences (IS) (40%) • are satisfied with their IS education/skills (25%)

  7. Information sources Are they adapted to EB(V)M practice ? • To compare the available information • about therapeutic interventions • in human  small/large animals • To search Medline (Ovid) and CAB (SPIRS) • To compare the results

  8. Systematicreviews Meta-analyses Blinded RCTs Cohort studies Control case studies Case series Single case reports Pyramid of evidence Integrative Literature Individual Studies

  9. GNRH & ovarian cysts treatment Controlled searches (using subject headings) - Limit 1996-2004

  10. Conclusion  EBVM • Public • Tools • Courses

  11. The veterinarians… • Seek evidence to support decision making • Prefer scientific sources • Are moderately satisfied with their searches • Are rather poorly trained • Are interested in improving their skills • Never heard of EBVM

  12. The tools in veterinary medicine …. • Are not adapted to the EBVM practice • The literature has … • Smaller content • No Cochrane Library • No systematic reviews • Very few meta-analyses • Few RCTs • The search engines need to be adapted with • integrated filters for clinical queries • limits according to the publication types

  13. Teaching EBVM • The transposition of the EBM course to Vet. Med. is not conceivable without modification • New evaluation grids have to be developped • Librarians have to be trained to evaluate sources of poorer evidence • The collaboration with the clinical staff is needed
