As part of our Journal Club summaries our JC Chairs (Drs. Lisa Calder and Ian Stiell@EMO_Daddy) have been tasked with explaining Epidemiological concepts so that everyone in our department can analyze the literature and appraise articles on their own. For this Blog post we have all the "Epi Lesson" as they relate to "Prognosis and Miscellaneous Articles". That completes our 5 part series on Epi Lessons!
This is the official blog for the Department of Emergency Medicine at the University of Ottawa. Our main goal is to share the results of our monthly Journal Club for people to view and for our staff/residents to have as a resource if the need arises to review the content. The scores and analysis of each article are derived from an initial critical review of the literature by a single reviewer, followed by a group discussion.
