Abstract
The results of well-conducted clinical trials should be translated into practice but there is good evidence that this is not happening. There are a number of reasons for this - ignorance of doctors and patients, uncertainty as to the applicability of trials to individual patients, indolence and inefficiency on the part of practitioners, and financial considerations. More attention needs to be paid to correct all these factors.
