EBSCO Clinical Decisions is the team behind the trusted clinical decision support tools DynaMed/DynaMedex, Dynamic Health, and DynaMed Decisions. These resources provide comprehensive, evidence-based topics spanning the wide range of conditions and situations clinicians encounter every day plus an innovative AI capability with Dyna AI used by millions of clinicians worldwide.
As we enter 2026, here’s a recap of top usage trends across our platforms in 2025.
Top Searches on DynaMed and DynaMedex in 2025:
- Hypertension
- UTI
- Gout
- Tamiflu
- Keflex
- Cellulitis
- Hyponatremia
- Bactrim
- Doxycycline
- Sinusitis
These keyword searches in DynaMed/DynaMedex in 2025 highlight clinicians' focus on the diagnosis and management of common conditions such as hypertension, urinary tract infections (UTI), gout, cellulitis, hyponatremia, and sinusitis. Infectious disease management also topped the list, with frequent searches for Tamiflu for influenza and Keflex (cephalexin), Bactrim (sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim), and doxycycline antibiotics for many of the bacterial infections causing UTI, cellulitis, and sinusitis.
For customers with Dyna AI enabled, searches in DynaMed/DynaMedex go beyond finding the right topic; they find answers to their clinical questions instantly. For example, the Dyna AI response for hypertension begins with the most common diagnostic definition of blood pressure (systolic ≥ 140 mm Hg or diastolic ≥ 90 mm Hg) and offers follow-up prompts such as:
- What are the risk factors for developing hypertension?
- What are the different types of hypertension?
- How is hypertension diagnosed and monitored?
Each answer is just one click away, along with links to detailed DynaMed content.
