Evidence-based medicine has become increasingly important over the years. Getting research evidence into practice is a necessity in current practice. It has to be kept in mind that every patient population has its own special characteristics and this may make the best available research evidence sometimes not the best option for that particular population. Some examples of how the characteristics of a population may influence important evidence-based treatment decisions are discussed.
