Why medicine adopts ineffective or harmful medical practices only
to abandon them-sometimes too late. Medications such as Vioxx and
procedures such as vertebroplasty for back pain are among the
medical "advances" that turned out to be dangerous or useless. What
Dr. Vinayak K. Prasad and Dr. Adam S. Cifu call medical reversal
happens when doctors start using a medication, procedure, or
diagnostic tool without a robust evidence base-and then stop using
it when it is found not to help, or even to harm, patients. In
Ending Medical Reversal, Drs. Prasad and Cifu narrate fascinating
stories from every corner of medicine to explore why medical
reversals occur, how they are harmful, and what can be done to
avoid them. They explore the difference between medical innovations
that improve care and those that only appear to be promising. They
also outline a comprehensive plan to reform medical education,
research funding and protocols, and the process for approving new
drugs that will ensure that more of what gets done in doctors'
offices and hospitals is truly effective.
