Abstract:
Hierarchies of evidence are an important and influential tool for appraising evidence in medicine. In recent years, hierarchies have been formally adopted by organizations including the Cochrane Collaboration [1], NICE [2,3], the WHO [4], the US Preventive Services Task Force [5], and the Australian NHMRC [6,7]. The development of such hierarchies has been regarded as a central part of Evidence-Based Medicine (e.g. [8-10]), a movement within healthcare which prioritises the use of epidemiological evidence such as that provided by Randomised Controlled Trials (RCTs).

Kerry, Roger. "Causation in evidence based medicine." Thesis, University of Nottingham, 2017. http://eprints.nottingham.ac.uk/40494/.

Abstract:
Evidence based medicine (EBM) offers an established framework for the generation, interpretation, and utilisation of information in medicine and the health sciences. Central to the practice of EBM is, I argue, the notion of causation. This thesis makes an original contribution to the philosophy of EBM through a unique identification of a causal theory in EBM, and then by demonstrating a reconceptualised theory of causation better suited to evidence based person centred care. PART 1 of this thesis demonstrates that a very specific idea of causation can be witnessed within the structure of EBM.

Vere, Joseph. "Evidence based medicine : a critical analysis." Thesis, University of Sheffield, 2018. http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/20659/.

Abstract:
Evidence based medicine uses hierarchies of evidence to justify knowledge claims that are made. These knowledge claims are important because they dictate which treatment interventions are provided and funded, medicolegal standards and the medical research agenda. It is therefore interesting that different hierarchies can be used as this suggests that knowledge claims can be justified in different ways. This thesis presents a critical analysis of evidence based medicine, using the method of analytical philosophy, to improve understanding of the concept. The thesis is divided into two sections.
