[Pedagogic reflexions on the evidence-based medicine curriculum of the German Central Agency for Quality in Medicine and the German Network for Evidence-Based Medicine].

The German Agency for Quality in Medicine (AQuMed) and the Network for Evidence-based Medicine (EbM) have recently published the draft of an EbM Curriculum for continuing medical education. This standardised concept might lead to an improvement of the quality of EbM courses for physicians. Critical appraisal of the curriculum from a didactic point of view reveals both a substantial lack of teaching methods and teaching aids, and a lack of appropriate tools for the evaluation of the actual increase in professional competence. This includes specialised subject knowledge, methodological considerations as well as highly developed communication and social skills. We recommend incorporation of these components into the curriculum design to facilitate its successful implementation.

[Critical appraisal of a meta-analysis on the effects of hormone replacement therapy on non-vertebral fractures and suggestions to increase the transparency of meta-analyses].

The present article discusses the difficulties in using data from a meta-analysis of the effects of hormone replacement therapy on non-vertebral fractures. Comparison between the fracture data extracted from the primary studies and the data included in the meta-analysis showed discrepancies for the primary endpoint in three out of 14 studies. Since the complex decision processes behind meta-analyses are often not transparent to the reader it is recommended to provide further details on decision processes for data collection, selection and inclusion criteria for unpublished data. This information could be made available on the website of the publishing journal.
