Article Types

• The WikEM Evidence Based Question (EBQ) Section has two distinct types of article templates:
  • One for summary of an important study (e.g. EBQ:TTM Trial)
  • One for a summary of the literature (i.e multiple studies) relating to an important clinical topic (e.g. EBQ:Use of Sodium Polystyrene Sulfonate (Kayexylate) in Hyperkalemia)
