| ❏ Student did not answer the drug consult question ❏ Student did not use primary literature to answer the drug consult question (no meta-analysis) ❏ The submission exceeds the 3 page limit (excluding references) If any of these boxes are checked, an automatic zero will be given. | Zero Items Checked | <50% of items checked | < 100% but ≥ 50% of items checked | 100% of items checked |
| Biomedical Literature (80%) |
| Background: ❏ Orients audience to the situation and rationale for the paper ❏ Utilizes tertiary resources to provide drug background ❏ Utilizes tertiary resources to provide disease state background (including current standard care) | Zero Items Checked | <50% of items checked | < 100% but ≥ 50% of items checked | 100% of items checked |
| Search Strategy: ❏ Database described ❏ Search terms described ❏ Dates of indexed databases ❏Number of articles identified ❏Criteria to select and exclude articles for the consult described (only included RCT, no reviews, etc) ❏ Selected article is relevant and appropriate to scenario | Zero Items Checked | <50% of items checked | < 100% but ≥ 50% of items checked | 100% of items checked |
| Methods: Group allocation Summarizes and critiques interventions and methods accurately. Students will only get a check for each item if both summary and critique are provided (e.g. Logical, described in sufficient detail, based on standard methods/practices and/or using validated scales methods) : ❏ Study design ❏ Inclusion criteria ❏ Exclusion criteria ❏ Statistical power, if provided | Zero Items Checked | <50% of items checked | < 100% but ≥ 50% of items checked | 100% of items checked |
| Methods: Study intervention Summarizes and critiques interventions and methods accurately. Students will only get a check for each item if both summary and critique are provided (e.g. Logical, described in sufficient detail, based on standard methods/practices and/or using validated scales methods) : ❏ Intervention ❏ Comparator ❏ Primary endpoint ❏ Relevant secondary endpoints ❏ Scales/measures ❏ Follow-up period | Zero Items Checked | <50% of items checked | < 100% but ≥ 50% of items checked | 100% of items checked |
| Results: Statistical Significance - Summarizes (All information must be accurate to earn credit): ❏Provides actual results (proportion/mean/median) for each group AND difference between intervention and comparator groups for relevant primary/secondary endpoints ❏Provides statistical data (p values AND 95% confidence intervals) for the relevant primary/secondary endpoints ❏ Interprets results (e.g., "intervention reduced the risk of endpoint X by 50% versus control") ❏Critiques power of the study, if the study was underpowered and failed to show statistical significance | Zero Items Checked | <50% of items checked | < 100% but ≥ 50% of items checked | 100% of items checked |
| Results - Clinical Significance - Summarizes and critiques (All information must be accurate to earn credit): ❏ Baseline demographics of included population ❏ Interprets NNT/NNH for any relevant endpoint (only if endpoint is dichotomous and statistically significant) ❏ Critiques the 95% confidence interval, if available, for any relevant endpoint discussed ❏ Critiques the clinical significance of the results, by weighing potential benefits and harms of the intervention and dicusses whether or not the results should affect clinical practice | Zero Items Checked | <50% of items checked | < 100% but ≥ 50% of items checked | 100% of items checked |
| Application: Summary of the students' conclusion is: ❏ Accurate ❏ Complete ❏ Applied to specific patient/PICO question | Zero Items Checked | <50% of items checked | < 100% but ≥ 50% of items checked | 100% of items checked |
| Referencing: Exact 10th edition AMA referencing format: ❏ No missing citations (all references appropriately cited in text) ❏ Correct numbering ❏ Correct AMA format ❏ Appropriate in-text citation | Zero Items Checked | <50% of items checked | < 100% but ≥ 50% of items checked | 100% of items checked |
| | | | | | ERROR:#DIV/0! | Section Score |
| Communication (20%) |
| Format for the assignment is followed:
❏ 12 Times New Roman font ❏ 1 inch margins ❏ Utilizes primary and tertiary literature to answer provided question ❏ Uses correct headings | Zero Items Checked | <50% of items checked | < 100% but ≥ 50% of items checked | 100% of items checked |
| Clarity and Language: ❏ Generic drugs are lower case and brand names capitalized The paper is free of: ❏ Spelling errors ❏ Grammar errors ❏ Use of unapproved abbrevations ❏ Use of language inconsistent with professional audience *(ex. Personal pronouns) | >2 errors present | <50% of items checked | < 100% but ≥ 50% of items checked | 0-2 errors present |
