Immediately accessible EBM guidelines for all physicians treating the most common clinical problems in otolaryngology
Unique page design and consistently formatted chapters
Offers concise, authoritative, and complete answers to diagnostic and therapeutic questions

The rise of evidence-based medicine presents some unique challenges for the busy clinician. While the practitioner has the best interests of the patient at heart and naturally wants to ensure that patient is receiving the most effective and up-to-date care, engaging with the wealth of available research on any given topic can be a daunting and prohibitively time-consuming task.

Recognizing the clinician's need for quick access to a comprehensive and immediately useful presentation of evidence-based material, the authors and editors have condensed the research on the most common otorhinolaryngological complaints into this indispensable volume. Their unique approach color-codes the level of research backing each set of evidence in order to make assessment of the evidence as quick and useful as possible. Each clinical problem is presented with a "color key," letting the physician know the level of evidence available: green (high-level evidence), yellow (low moderate levels of evidence), or red (major disagreement or only minimal low-level evidence). The content of each chapter is structured in the same manner so the reader quickly becomes accustomed to finding precisely the information needed for each new case.

Featuring sections on general otolaryngology, head and neck surgery, pediatrics, and otology, Evidence-Based Otolaryngology not only presents the research, but gives the clinician immediately applicable recommendations for patient treatment.
