Abstract

We started the preparation of this directive with the capacitation of the authors by means of the metodology employed by the Oxford Centre for Evidence Based Medicine, for the preparation of clinical directives by the Directives Program of the Brazilian Medical Association (Associaçao Médica Brasileira - AMB). Next, we had five directive preparation meetings with the AMB Program's coordinators. Articles from the MEDLINE (PubMed) databases, the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, by means of the Health Virtual Library, with no time limitation. The search strategy adopted was based on (P.I.C.O.) structured questions (from the initials "Patient"; "Intervention"; "Control" and "Outcome".
