Worst of the worst

Failed repeated requests for disclosure of financial conflict for physician advisors, collaborators, sponsors. Unsubstantiated claim as leading medical information platform

I have asked some specialized medical questions to help me answer as an attending physician at a major hospital. Unfortunately some of the answers are either watered down or not accurate enough which could affect patient care. You’lld think they’ll spend more time cursting thier answers for recency and accuracy.

I have ME/CFS and your application is suggesting graded exercise therapy. This ranges from not helpful to actually harmful. Any Dr giving out this as a treatment could be subject to malpractice. The PACE study was not properly peer reviewed before it was even published and debunked over a decade ago. How is this still being pushed as a treatment? This belief cause me actual physical and mental harm.

Graded exercise therapy and CBT are not appropriate treatment for MECFS and studies that encourage them for treatment have been disproven. They are actually contraindicated for MECFS patients and this program is promoting modalities that can cause permanent decrease in baseline status and functioning

This is all based on phony evidence. You are going to ruin people’s health and lives and cause a great deal of suffering. Shame on you. Do your research. Do better.

Answers provided concerning the treatment of ME/CFS are inaccurate and potentially dangerous.

OpenEvidence references outdated information and advises doctors to recommend dangerous "treatments" to their patients. These treatments have been proven repeatedly in studies to harm patients and are no longer recommended, as per the NICE guidelines. If OpenEvidence doesn't change this and update their information, doctors will continue to make mistakes at the cost of their patients' wellbeing. Please be wary and do your own research before trusting this program. There may be mistakes and inaccuracies regarding other conditions as well
