Abstract
Evidence-based practice in medical nutrition therapy for kidney stones involves staying up-to-date on evidence-based practice guidelines. However, because there are limited practice guidelines in this area, it may be necessary to search and evaluate the primary literature to make practice decisions. Searching the literature starts with writing a question in PICO (population, intervention, comparison, outcome) format. Search results are then evaluated based on the study design, with randomized controlled trials considered to provide the best evidence. When primary literature is unavailable, strategies are reviewed for practitioners to systematically collect outcomes from their own practice in order to advance knowledge in this area.
