Abstract:
The paper gives a comprehensive account of the current situation of SARS treatment and analyzes the features of the disease and its prevention and treatment, viz. SARS treatment has been conducted without RCT studies; the life quality of cured SARS patients has lowered; there is the possibility of repeated SARS outbreaks and spread; and the effectiveness of some therapeutic regimes needs to be ascertained. For this reason, it is suggested that evidence-based medicine be used in screening therapeutic regimes for SARS and that systematic assessments and standardizations be conducted so as to work out favorable regimes for SARS treatment and make efficient use of limited health resources.
