PICO Case Study Questions
PICO
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
The PICO (patient, intervention, comparison and outcome) question format is an extensively used strategy when developing a case study question (Aslam, 2010). The use of this format in evidence-based practise allows for the formulation of interesting and clinically significant research questions. The question format aims to cover all areas of research, patient refers to the demographic to be addressed by the research; the intervention refers to the way in which the demographic will be treated. The comparison or control is the medical intervention used and the outcome refers to the effect of the intervention.

The clinical case is on a 23-year-old female presenting with food allergies, specifically fructose malabsorption and lactose intolerance. She also suffers from eczema and very low and depressed moods when eating foods that she is intolerant to. …show more content…
It is sweeter and more soluble than both glucose and sucrose. Absorption of fructose occurs in the jejunum and is metabolism of occurs in the liver and when consumed in higher quantities, it may be malabsorbed.

Weight of the depression on her live versus the time for it to improve
1. Brief description of disorder and background information about the intervention (which provides the basis for a rationale to support why you chose your PICO question)
The chosen PICO question is:
In patients with fructose malabsorption, would nutritional intervention compared to standard medical treatment or no intervention, reduce the signs and symptoms of
