Resumo: The COVID-19 pandemic presents us with a difficult context for clinical decision making. In this scenario, this article aims to explain some fundamental concepts about evidence-based decision making. For this purpose, we will first discuss when to carry out an evidence-based decision-making process. Then certain previous concepts will be clarified (decision-making based on pathophysiological plausibility, observations made during clinical practice, indirect clinical evidence, and direct clinical evidence; as well as the influence of the pharmaceutical industry). Next, the following steps are presented to make evidence-based decisions: Ask a question, search for studies that answer that question, critically read these studies, understand the logic of decision-making, prepare to make the decision, bake a balance (between benefits, harms and costs), carry out a shared decision-making process, and reevaluate the evidence.

En este escenario, el presente artículo tiene por objetivo explicar algunos conceptos fundamentales sobre la toma de decisiones basadas en evidencias. Para ello, primero se discutirá cuándo realizar un proceso de toma de decisiones basadas en evidencias. Luego se aclararán ciertos conceptos previos (toma de decisiones en base a la plausibilidad fisiopatológica, las observaciones realizadas durante la práctica clínica, la evidencia clínica indirecta y la evidencia clínica directa; así como la influencia de la industria farmacéutica). Seguidamente, se presentan los pasos para tomar decisiones basadas en evidencias: Formular una pregunta, buscar los estudios que respondan a dicha pregunta, leer críticamente dichos estudios, entender la lógica de la toma de decisiones, prepararse para tomar la decisión, realizar el balance (entre los beneficios, daños y costos), realizar un proceso de toma de decisiones compartidas, y reevaluar la evidencia.SciELO PreprintsSciELO PreprintsSciELO Preprints2020-05-16info:eu-repo/semantics/preprintinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/preprint/view/48210.1590/SciELOPreprints.482spahttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/article/view/482/608Copyright (c) 2020 Alvaro Taype-Rondan, Sergio Goicochea-Lugo https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessTaype-Rondan, AlvaroGoicochea-Lugo , Sergioreponame:SciELO Preprintsinstname:SciELOinstacron:SCI2020-05-15T01:03:54Zoai:ops.preprints.scielo.org:preprint/482Servidor de preprintshttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scieloONGhttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/oaiscielo.submission@scielo.orgopendoar:2020-05-15T01:03:54SciELO Preprints - SciELOfalse
