Clinical questions are important for the evaluation of patients’ conditions as they provide a base for research on various cases and patients. An example of an etiological clinical question that can be framed using the PICOT format is a case of the prevalence of uterine rupture in subsequent deliveries in women who have undergone cesarean section delivery as compared to pregnant women who went through spontaneous vertex delivery. A patient who is a pregnant woman presenting with complications of uterine rupture and had initially gone through a cesarean section will require guidance on the best delivery options for subsequent deliveries. In this case, the clinical question will be: (P)Are the first-time mothers who have undergone (I) Caesarean Section (CS) more likely to experience (O) uterine rupture during (T) subsequent pregnancies as (C)compared to first-time mothers who undergo spontaneous vertex delivery (SVD). This essay will look into the different types of clinical questions and their distinguishing features.Clinical questions are categorized into two; background questions and foreground questions. Background questions or information ask for general knowledge about a certain disease, process or condition ((Stillwell, Fineout-Overholt, Melnyk, & Williamson, 2010).
