title: Evidence-based methods to improve anaesthesia and intensive care.
abstract: This review concerns the application of the methods of clinical epidemiology to problems in anaesthesia and intensive care. It explores the quality of evidence to guide clinical decision-making and health policy provided by experimental and various non-experimental research designs. Ten recent publications in anaesthesia and intensive care are analysed to provide relevant examples.
