Top Articles in Primary Care (EPUB)

This concise and informative book titled, “Top Articles Every Clinician Should Know” is written by John Russell and Neil S. Skolnik. The book covers a wide range of medical literature that serves as the foundation of current medical practices. The book provides a comprehensive overview of articles that are frequently referenced and those that have set the standard of medical practices worldwide. For instance, the book explains why physicians aim for an A1c level of less than 7% when treating patients with diabetes, which primarily comes from two clinical trials, the DPPT and the UKPDS trial. The book also explores the ACCORD trial that informs us how a lower A1c goal does not lead to better outcomes and may lead to worse outcomes. Understanding these trials is vital for physicians to make sound decisions for their patients and appreciate the data they work with every day.

The book is organized by system, including respiratory, cardiovascular, diabetes, among others, and within each category, chapters are structured chronologically. Each article reviewed includes an overview of the methodology used, the results obtained, and a discussion that puts the results into clinical context. These chapters are composed and chosen by primary care physicians who understand the relevance of the subject to the intended audience.

“Top Articles Every Clinician Should Know,” written by experts in the field, provides a valuable resource for the most significant articles published in medical literature. These articles continue to inform clinicians’ practice of primary care today.
