Zusammenfassung

Prospektiv randomisierte Studien und Register sind aufgrund ihres Evidenzniveaus Grundlage vieler medizinischer Entscheidungsprozesse. Was aber, wenn der individuelle Fall in den Studien nicht oder nur unzureichend abgebildet wird? Es wird der Fall einer kruralen Rekonstruktion bei Claudicatio einer 88-jährigen Patientin als Beispiel für die manchmal konträren Informationen aus hochwertigen Studien gezeigt. Gerade bei nicht eindeutiger Evidenz einer einzig richtigen Vorgehensweise ist die Rolle des Arztes und die unvoreingenommene Auswahl des Verfahrens von entscheidender Bedeutung.

Abstract

Prospective randomized trials (RCT) and registries have a high level of evidence. Thus, they play an important role in the process of diagnosis and treatment; however, many individual cases are not reflected or do not fulfil all the criteria. This article demonstrates individual decisions with the example of crural reconstruction in an 88-year-old woman who suffered from severe claudication. The RCTs and registries demonstrated the pros and cons of therapy; however, they did not properly reflect the individual case. The physician has to act individually according to fundamental principles of medical ethics.
