La Medicina basada en la Evidencia (MBE) se define como un proceso cuyo objetivo es la selección de los mejores argumentos científicos para la resolución de los problemas que la práctica médica cotidiana plantea. Filosóficamente es un nuevo paradigma (verificacionista), que se ha extendido a todas las profesiones sanitarias (Cirugía Basada en la Evidencia, Odontología Basada en la Evidencia, etc.), soportado por los avances tecnológicos. Aunque sus ventajas son evidentes, también se han reconocido limitaciones, especialmente en lo concerniente a la práctica quirúrgica. En el presente trabajo se revisan los fundamentos y principales ventajas de la MBE. 1, record 1, Spanish, - medicina%20basada%20en%20la%20evidencia
