Health Care Information Source Cautions

You should be aware that information contained in any health care information source may be of varying quality. Even sources you might assume "trustable," may have generally great methods, but other factors — such as politics, for example — may affect the content in important ways that are not evidence-based.
Unless you are fully convinced the information is developed through a rigorous and systematic process (and even if you are), it is strongly advised that you use a tool – such as those found in the Delfini Evidence Tool Set or the Delfini QI Project Tool Set – to evaluate the validity and potential usefulness of the information you may find. See our Tools. Ultimately you will need to apply your own judgment in determining whether a source can be useful to you or not.
For secondary studies and secondary sources, you may need to update the information, using PubMed, for more current research following the end of the search used in the source.
Calculators should be viewed as providing estimates since we cannot verify accurace of such calculations such as confidence intervals.
