Uma proposta metodológica para a elaboração de revisões clínicas / A methodological proposal for the preparation of clinical reviews / Una propuesta metodológica para la elaboración de revisiones clínicas
Clinical reviews are evidence summaries with broad scope and orientation to professional practice, occupying one of the highest levels in the pyramid of evidence-based health care. Based on this pyramid, we reflect on instructions to the authors of journals in familymedicine to present instructions on how to write clinical reviews. The instructions cover how to search, appraise, synthesize and analyze clinical evidence, and how to plan and report the review. We hope these instructions will help improve the quantity and quality of clinical reviews in familymedicine in Brazil.
