It is the bicarbonate in the blood that I am concerned about. If it turns out we want low bicarbonate levels an the common tests for CO2 measure bicarbonate level then many people on the forum showing results with high bicarbonate actually have a problem, while they have been reassured that it is a good sign.
In its broadest form, evidence-based medicine is the application of the scientific method into healthcare decision-making. Medicine has a long tradition of both basic and clinical research that dates back at least to Avicenna.
The term evidence based medicine (no hyphen) was coined at McMaster Medical School in Canada in the 1980's to label this clinical learning strategy, which people at the school had been developing for over a decade.VIDENCE-BASED MEDICINE is defined as the process of systematically finding, appraising, and using contemporaneous research findings as the basis for clinical decisions. Evidence-based medicine asks questions, finds and appraises the relevant data, and harnesses that information for everyday clinical practice.
