ABSTRACT
RESUMEN En los últimos años se ha promovido el uso de evidencia proveniente de la investigación debido al creciente desarrollo del movimiento de medicina basada en la evidencia y se ha descrito que la transferencia del concepto "Basado en la Evidencia" desde la práctica clínica hacia la práctica de la salud pública no ha sido tan directa como se esperaba. Gran parte de la evidencia disponible para apoyar las recomendaciones en materia de salud pública proviene deestudios quese califican como evidencia de bajao muy baja calidad en la jerarquía medicina basada en la evidencia clásica y en el enfoque de GRADE. El objetivo del presente artículo es presentar dos métodos de calificación de evidencia, sus limitaciones y aplicaciones como herramientas para la toma de decisiones en salud pública.

He use of research-based evidence has been promoted during recent years, due to the increasing development of evidence-based medicine,and it has been reported that transferring the concept of "evidence-based" from clinical to public health practice has not been as straight forward as expected.Much research-based evidence for supporting public health recommendations has come from studies whose evidence has been qualified as being low or very low quality in the medical hierarchy based on classic evidence and the grading of recommendations, assessment, development and evaluation (GRADE)approach. This paper was aimed at presenting two methods of rating evidence, as well as their limitations and applications as public health decision-making tools.
