AHCPR announces evidence reports
Research teams are beginning work on the first 12 evidence reports in a series of reports to be published by the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research (AHCPR) in Rockville, MD, the agency announced.
AHCPR established Evidence-based Practice Centers to review and analyze scientific literature as an alternative to the agency’s in-house creation of clinical guidelines. The guidelines will likely influence health plans and other organizations that develop guidelines and protocols.
The first topics are: pharmacotherapy for alcohol dependence; management of stable angina; diagnosis of sleep apnea; treatment of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder; rehabilitation of persons with traumatic brain injury; testosterone suppression treatment for prostatic cancer; evaluation of cervical cytology; depression treatment with new drugs; evaluation and treatment of new onset of atrial fibrillation in the elderly; prevention and management of urinary complications in paralyzed persons; diagnosis and treatment of acute sinusitis; and diagnosis and treatment of dysphagia/swallowing problems in the elderly.
