Original publication title: BestBETs for Vets.
Plain-English summary
BestBETs for Vets are resources created by the Centre for Evidence-based Veterinary Medicine at the University of Nottingham to help veterinarians make informed decisions about pet care. They gather and analyze the best available evidence to answer specific questions, even when that evidence is limited. This process follows a standardized method to ensure consistency and reliability. If you're curious about how these resources are made, there’s a more detailed explanation in a previous issue of Veterinary Record from April 2015.
Abstract
BestBETs for Vets are generated by the Centre for Evidence-based Veterinary Medicine at the University of Nottingham to help answer specific questions and assist in clinical decision making. Although evidence is often limited, they aim to find, present and draw conclusions from the best available evidence, using a standardised framework. A more detailed description of how BestBETs for Vets are produced was published in a previous issue of Veterinary Record (, April 4, 2015, pp 354-356).
