The Guidelines Project, an initiative of the Brazilian Medical Association, aims to combine information from the medical field in order to standardize procedures to assist the reasoning and decision-making of doctors. The information provided through this project must be assessed and criticized by the physician responsible for the conduct that will be adopted, depending on the conditions and the clinical status of each patient.
evidence collection MethodThis guideline followed the standard of a systematic review with evidence retrieval based on the evidence-based medicine (EBM), so that clinical experience is integrated with the ability to critically analyze and apply scientific information rationally, thus improving the quality of medical care.We used the structured mode of formulating questions synthesized by the acronym PICO, where P stands for patients with osteoporotic vertebral fracture, I refers to intervention using kyphoplasty, C stands for comparison with vertebroplasty and O stands for the outcomes of efficacy and adverse events.By raising a relevant question related to the proposed topic, we identified, based on the structured question, the keywords that formed the basis of the search for evidence in the databases: Medline-Pubmed, Embase Cochrane Library. The studies had their abstracts reviewed and after applying the eligibility criteria (inclusion and exclusion), 15 articles were selected in order to answer the clinical doubt (Annex I).clinical question

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
