Abstract

Within the evolving field of obstetrics and gynecology, providers should possess the ability to effectively and critically evaluate medical literature in order to best adapt and incorporate evidence-based practice. For both clinicians and researchers alike, we provide a systematic approach for reviewing a journal article published in the medical literature. We summarize the various types of study designs, with dedicated attention to observational and experimental studies, and examine sources of bias inherent to these study designs. Finally, we review important considerations when interpreting the validity and significance of the results and conclusions of a research study.
