Health Policy and Clinical Effectiveness

Best Evidence Statement (BESt)

The Health Policy and Clinical Effectiveness Department at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center is dedicated to sharing its expertise and knowledge. Below are Best Evidence Statements developed for different clinical areas.

The scope of a BESt is smaller than a Clinical Practice Guideline. A BESt contains clinical recommendation(s) based on best evidence on a limited topic or single clinical question. The BESt depends more on synthesized evidence, such as published guidelines and other systematic reviews, than on primary research.
