It features updated insights, previously unpublished information, and thorough analyses of new literature, making it an invaluable resource for both trainees and seasoned clinicians.This book is designed to enhance the reader's understanding of effective clinical questioning, the significance of various physical examination findings, and the application of quantitative analysis in medical practice. Each chapter employs a standardized template that includes a case presentation, an exploration of the clinical importance of the issue, the research and statistical methods used for evidence evaluation, and the sensitivity, specificity, and likelihood ratios of key results. This structure aids clinicians in making informed decisions based on the best available evidence.With over 50 chapters addressing both common and complex clinical questions, The Rational Clinical Examination provides practical guidance that reflects real-world clinical scenarios. Additionally, the book features dynamic clinical images in full colour to enhance the learning experience. For further enrichment, an online resource is available at JAMA, offering access to content from the book along with interactive features and slide sets, facilitating the integration of evidence-based medicine into daily practice and clinical education. This work serves as a pivotal supplement to traditional physical examination textbooks, emphasising the importance of incorporating evidence into clinical decision-making.

The ultimate guide to the evidence-based clinical encounter

A Doody's Core Title for 2015!

"This book is an excellent source of supported evidence that provides useful and clinically relevant information for the busy practitioner, student, resident, or educator who wants to hone skills of physical diagnosis. It provides a tool to improve patient care by using the history and physical examination items that have the most reliability and efficiency."--Annals of Internal Medicine

"The evidence-based examination techniques put forth by Rational Clinical Examination is the sort that can be brought to bear on a daily basis - to save time, increase confidence in medical decisions, and help decrease unnecessary testing for conditions that do not require absolute diagnostic certainty. In the end, the whole of this book is greater than its parts and can serve as a worthy companion to a traditional manual of physical examination."--Baylor University Medical Center (BUMC)Proceedings

5 STAR DOODY'S REVIEW!
"Physical diagnosis has been taught to every medical student but this evidence-based approach now shows us why, presenting one of medicine's most basic tenets in a new and challenging light. The format is extraordinary, taking previously published material and updating the pertinent evidence since the initial publication, affirming or questioning or refining the conclusions drawn from the data.
"This is a book for everyone who has studied medicine and found themselves doubting what they have been taught over the years, not that they have been deluded, but that medical traditions have been unquestionably believed because there was no evidence to believe otherwise. The authors have uncovered the truth.
"This extraordinary, one-of-a-kind book is a valuable addition to every medical library."--Doody's Review Service

Completely updated with new literature analyses, here is a uniquely practical, clinically relevant approach to the use of evidence in the content of physical examination. Going far beyond the scope of traditional physical examination texts, this invaluable resource compiles and presents the evidence-based meanings of signs, symptoms, and results from physical examination maneuvers and other diagnostic studies. Page after page, you'll find a focus on actual clinical questions and presentations, making it an incomparably practical resource that you'll turn to again and again.

Importantly, the high-yield content of The Rational Clinical Examination is significantly expanded and updated from the original JAMA articles, much of it published here for the first time. It all adds up to a definitive, ready-to-use clinical exam sourcebook that no student or clinician should be without.
