What is a background question?
- general questions
- can come from the doctor or patient
What are foreground Qs?
- answerable clinical questions
- from patient and/or doctor
- ie. PICO
What are the realms of foreground questions
(PTHD)
- Prognosis - what was the observed outcome?
- Therapy - will a modality help?
- Harm - will exposure have an adverse effect?
- Diagnosis - will a particular test help me?
When is PICO formatting required?
for creating a foreground question
What does PICO stand for?
- Population/problem
- Intervention
- Comparison intervention
- Outcome of interest
What kind of studies help to answer foreground Qs
Primary studies
- RCTs for therapy related
What is a more practical source of information (other than Dr. Bhalaero)
Pre-appraised literature
What sites are useful for pre-appraised literature
- Dynamed
- TRIP
- Physiotherapy Evidence Database (more applications for Chiro)

subjects with a specific outcome are matched with those without the outcome and info is obtained about their past exposure to a factor under study
Which study type is best for assessing risk factors or rare conditions?
