Systematic reviews and evidence-based recommendations are becoming increasingly important for decision-making in health and medicine. Systematic reviews of population-health interventions are challenging and methods will continue evolving. This paper provides an overview of how evidence-based approaches in public health and health promotion are being reviewed to provide a basis for Colombian Guide to Health Promotion, analysing limitations and recommendations for future reviews.

La importancia de las revisiones sistemáticas y de las recomendaciones basadas en la evidencia está aumentando cada vez más, para la toma de decisiones en salud y medicina. Las revisiones sistemáticas de intervenciones poblacionales están aun en crecimiento y sus métodos en continuo desarrollo. Este artículo provee una mirada de cómo una aproximación de salud publica y promoción de la salud basada en la evidencia es útil para la formulación de guías nacionales en promoción de la salud; analizando sus limitaciones y recomendaciones para futuras revisiones.
