has generally reflected the correlation that exists between a patient and his or her condition. Such a situation becomes much more complicated, regardless of whatever the medical condition is, when
the patient is an infant. In the research presented in Evidence-based Clinical Practice Guideline for Children with Hypertrophic Pyloric Stenosis (2001), the authors establish their objectives based on making an
accurate diagnostic assessment, determining the appropriate correction and then implementing post-operative management of the condition that they describe as "one of the most common gastrointestinal disorders during early infancy" (PG).
Once those factors are addressed, it is then possible to determine how the resulting guidelines will be put into practice, their applicability, and the fundamental practicality of implementing the guidelines
in a clinical setting and the likely impact of such an implementation. Morash (2002) explains that hypertrophic pyloric stenosis or "HPS" is: "... an acquired condition of unknown etiology in
which the pylorus muscle, the circumferencial muscle of the pyloric sphincter, becomes thickened causing elongation and obliteration of the pyloric channel" (pp. 113). She goes on to note that it
occurs in 1.5 to 4 births of every thousand and usually in the first two months of a babys life (pp. 113). Such statistics demonstrate that it is important for
healthcare professionals, especially those associated involved with the treatment of a large number of infants (such as those affiliated with a childrens hospital) be well aware of HPS, its diagnosis,
and how it is best treated. Quality of Research Hek (1996) points out that the fact that a certain research study is published in a reputable journal speaks well
of the review processes it is likely to have undergone. As Hek points out, this allows the reader to "have some confidence that the research is sound. However, if this
