Articles retrieved
The obtaining of evidence to be used to analyze the clin-
ical question followed the steps of: elaboration of the clin-
ical question, structuring of the question, search for evi-
dence, critical evaluation and selection of evidence,
presentation of results and recommendations.
The bases of scientific information consulted were:
Medline via Pubmed, Embase, Central Cochrane and
Cochrane Library.
A total of 367 articles were retrieved, of which 22 were
selected after reading the title and abstract; of these 11
had the full text accessed to answer the proposed clinical
question (Table 1).
3-13
Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Phase III randomized controlled clinical trials, systemat-
ic reviews (with or without meta-analyzes), comparative
(or non-comparative) studies were included, and, in their
absence, the best evidence available to answer the clini-
cal question within the limits of PICO.
According to study design
Narrative reviews, case reports, case series, studies present-
ing preliminary results only were, in principle, excluded
from the selection. Systematic reviews and meta-analyzes
were used with the principle of retrieving references that
may have been lost since the initial search strategy. Con-
trolled clinical trials were assessed based on the Jadad
14
and GRADE
15
scores.
Language
We included studies available in Portuguese, English
or Spanish.
According to type of publication
Only full-text studies were considered for critical assessment.
