Abstract
Evidence-based medicine involves the integration of the best scientific evidence available with physician experience and patient preferences. One of the first steps in evidence-based medicine involves developing a question based on issues encountered with patients or a disease and finding evidence to answer the question. This article is a guide to plastic surgeons in how to begin the practice of evidence-based medicine by developing clinical questions and finding evidence to answer these questions.
