Of course, this isn't all because docs don't know or don't apply evidence - often there is simply a dearth of data. For example, one study suggests just 18% of primary care recommendations have high quality evidence generated to support them! 10/14 https://t.co/aPFTkiHtHF

@Noahpinion "In primary care oriented medical reference, 18% were based on consistent high quality patient oriented evidence" https://t.co/UCIFrqdYIR How does one move forward in a world with infinite facts and finite evidence for success? Clinical experience can be a guide.
