Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the application effect of population/patient, intervention/exposure, comparison/control, and outcome (PICO) principles based on evidence-based medicine in case reports of residents in operative dentistry and endodontics.Methods:A total of 56 residents in Department of Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics in Hospital of Stomatology, Sun Yat-sen University, were selected and randomly divided into experimental group and control group, with 28 residents in each group. The residents in the experimental group were guided by the teachers to apply PICO principles in preparing case reports, and those in the control group were guided by the teachers to prepare traditional case reports. The two groups were compared in terms of the language expression of case reports, the completeness of case records, the rationality and advancement of the diagnosis and treatment regimen, and the logicality and scientificity of discussion, and a questionnaire survey was performed for both groups. SPSS 24.0 software was used to perform the descriptive statistical analysis, the t-test, and the chi-square test. Results:The experimental group had a significantly higher mean score of case report than the control group in department examination [(89.25±3.24) vs. (86.32±3.55), t=3.23, P=0.002], especially the score of the logicality and scientificity of discussion [(27.25±0.16) vs. (23.78±0.36), t=8.77, P<0.001]. The questionnaire survey showed that the experimental group had a significant increase in the frequency of participating in case reports ( P=0.035). Conclusions:The application of PICO principles can enhance the overall quality of case reports by residents and improve their enthusiasm in participating in case reports in department of operative dentistry and endodontics.
