I thought I would share a few of the topics I've worked on recently that go beyond the usual 5 min clinical question:
- Evidence for and against PSA screening for prostate cancer. I put together a fairly extensive annotated bibliography which I would be happy to share with anyone who contacts me. Included in the bibliography:
- Incidence/mortality statistics for Canada & US
- Most recent studies & guidelines 2006-2010 (International)
- Decision aids and evidence to support their use
- Evidence to support, or dispute, what has been in the news lately re: calcium supplements and heart disease:
