Evidence-based medicine (EBM) is a useful tool in making decisions on the treatments for various diseases. EBM consists of five steps : 1) listing up of clinical problems, 2) finding the evidence for problems, 3) critically evaluating, the evidence, 4) applying the best evidence for patients and 5) recording the effectiveness and efficiency of the results. In this study, the evidence level of apheresis for pemphigus was examined, based on the EBM strategy. As a result, the evidence level of apheresis therapy for pemphigus appeared to be low (level 4 or 5), because it is often indicated in serious cases, and no RCT has been reported. Additional examination is necessary to address the safety and efficacy of apheresis for skin diseases.
