OVERVIEW:
Back by popular demand, the Epidemiology Special Interest Group features mixed-format presentation in two distinct parts.
The first portion of the session features two trainee investigators, chosen from abstracts submitted for presentation at the Annual Meeting. The second part presents the heart of this year’s theme Knowledge Synthesis in Epilepsy. Two speakers, known for their research and leadership in this field, review evidence of bridging gaps and navigating bias to inform decisions and policy, and the ‘what, why, and how’ of developing clinical practice guidelines.
Learning Objectives:
Following participation in this activity, participants will be able to:
- Describe new knowledge synthesis methods such as meta-analysis with individual patient data and network meta-analysis, as well as able to interpret their findings
- Outline the process for developing clinical practice guidelines, including the incorporation of evidence-based medicine, clinical judgment, and consensus
