Features: Evidence-based medicine is a discipline that follows the best evidence in modern medical research and applies it to clinical practice to make scientific diagnostic and treatment decisions for patients. Its purpose is to continuously improve the quality of clinical medical services and the competence of medical professionals, promote the development of clinical medicine, and effectively serve patients while safeguarding public health. The most significant difference between evidence-based medicine and traditional clinical medicine lies in the clinical practice evidence it applies, which is rigorously analyzed and evaluated using scientific standards to be confirmed as authentic, clinically significant, applicable to clinical practice, and the best contemporary scientific evidence. Moreover, with scientific progress, the evidence is continuously updated, always remaining at the forefront. Additionally, it fully embodies the principle of patient-centered care, allowing patients to reflect their own value orientations and desires during the clinical diagnosis and treatment process, thereby building a harmonious and mutually respectful relationship between doctors and patients. This enables the scientific decision-making of evidence-based medicine to be realized and the best outcomes to be achieved. This textbook is not only suitable for the long-term medical education system in China but also holds significant reference value for clinicians in China in learning and practicing evidence-based medicine.
