The Three Rapid Critical Appraisal Questions
Captions available
The idea
Rapid critical appraisal hinges on three questions that apply to any study: are the results valid, what are the results, and will they help me care for my patients.
In practice
The same three asked of a review, a trial and a cohort study.
Where people slip
They are asked in order. Reading the results before validity is settled is reading results you have already half-believed.
