Develop a PICO(T) question to address the clinical issue of interest you identified in Module 2 for the Assignment
(Develop a PICO(T) question to address the clinical issue of interest you identified in Module 2 for the Assignment). To Prepare: Review the Resources and identify a clinical issue of interest that can form the basis of a clinical inquiry. Develop a PICO(T) question to address the clinical issue of interest you identified in Module 2 for the Assignment. This PICOT question will remain the same for the entire course. Use the keywords from the PICO(T) question you developed and search at least four different databases in the Walden Library. Identify at least four relevant systematic reviews or other filtered high-level evidence, which includes meta-analyses, critically-appraised topics (evidence syntheses), critically appraised individual articles (article synopses). The evidence will not necessarily address all the elements of your PICO(T) question, so select the most important concepts to search and find the best evidence available. Reflect on the process of creating a PICO(T) question and searching for peer-reviewed research. The Assignment (Evidence-Based Project)Part 2: Advanced Levels of Clinical Inquiry and Systematic Reviews Create a 6- to 7-slide PowerPoint presentation in which you do the following: Identify and briefly describe your chosen clinical issue of interest. Describe how you developed a PICO(T) question focused on your chosen clinical issue of interest. Identify the four research databases that you used to conduct your search for the peer-reviewed articles you selected. Provide APA citations of the four relevant peer-reviewed articles at the systematic-reviews level related to your research question. If there are no systematic review level articles or meta-analysis on your topic, then use the highest level of evidence peer reviewed article. Describe the levels of evidence in each of the four peer-reviewed articles you selected, including an explanation of the strengths of using systematic reviews for clinical research. Be specific and provide examples.
Answer
PowerPoint Presentation: Advanced Levels of Clinical Inquiry and Systematic Reviews
Slide 1: Title Slide
- Title: Advanced Levels of Clinical Inquiry and Systematic Reviews
- Subtitle: Evidence-Based Practice in [Your Clinical Issue]
- Your Name
- Date
Slide 2: Clinical Issue of Interest
- Clinical Issue: Diabetes management in elderly patients with comorbidities.
- Description: Managing diabetes in elderly patients, especially those with additional health conditions, presents unique challenges. These patients often experience complications such as cardiovascular disease, renal issues, and cognitive decline, which complicate diabetes management and impact overall health outcomes. (Develop a PICO(T) question to address the clinical issue of interest you identified in Module 2 for the Assignment)
Slide 3: Developing the PICO(T) Question
- PICO(T) Question: In elderly patients with diabetes and comorbid conditions (P), does a comprehensive diabetes management program (I), compared to standard diabetes care (C), improve glycemic control and reduce complications (O) over a 12-month period (T)?
- Development Process: Identified key components of the clinical issue, including the population (elderly with diabetes and comorbidities), intervention (comprehensive management program), comparison (standard care), outcome (improvement in glycemic control and reduction of complications), and time frame (12 months).

Slide 6: Levels of Evidence and Strengths
- Levels of Evidence:
- Systematic Reviews: Provide comprehensive summaries of all relevant studies on a particular question, offering high-level evidence due to their exhaustive nature and rigorous methodology.
- Meta-Analysis: Combines results from multiple studies to provide a more precise estimate of effect, thus enhancing the reliability of findings.
- Critically-Appraised Topics and Articles: Offer expert evaluations of evidence, focusing on the relevance and quality of individual studies.
- Strengths:
- Systematic reviews and meta-analyses synthesize large volumes of data, reducing bias and providing a more comprehensive understanding of the evidence.
- They facilitate evidence-based decision-making by summarizing findings from various studies and highlighting the most effective interventions.
Slide 7: Conclusion
- Summary: Addressed the clinical issue of diabetes management in elderly patients with comorbidities, developed a PICO(T) question to guide inquiry, and identified high-level evidence from systematic reviews and meta-analyses.
- Next Steps: Use the findings from these high-level evidence sources to inform clinical practice and improve diabetes management programs for elderly patients.
