Critical Appraisal - Therapy Articles - Applicability

This is the final study-specific step of critical appraisal. Once you determine whether the study's results are applicable, you'll develop a clinical bottom line about whether or not to apply the evidence to your specific clinical question or to your patients generally.

Describe whether and how this study is applicable to your patient(s) - either in general or as a response to a specific clinical question.

Is my patient similar to the ones included in the study?

Is the outcome one that your patients would care about? ("patient-oriented evidence")

Is the intervention feasible in your practice?
