Abstract

ESPARZA OLCINA, MJ  and  GRUPO PREVINFAD/PAPPS INFANCIA Y ADOLESCENCIA et al. The analytic framework in USPSTF recommendations development. Rev Pediatr Aten Primaria [online]. 2017, vol.19, n.74, pp.177-182. ISSN 1139-7632.

The analytic framework and its graphic representation, takes part of the integral approach in the systematic reviews that the US Preventive Services Task Force develop in the process of developing their recommendations. It is included as part of the methodology for the process of the working plan. Together with the key questions, the analytic framework establishes the needed steps in the logical process that should be demonstrated in order to assess the efficacy and the harms of a preventive service in primary care. The objective of an analytic framework is to present clearly and schematically the specific questions that relate interventions and results and that should be answered through the bibliographic review. A convention for its design, items, links, symbols and graphic representation is described.

Keywords : Preventive activities; Recommendations; US Preventive Services Task Force; Analytic framework.
