Introduction: Vision is critical in all aspects and stages of life. Myopia is the second cause of visual impairment worldwide and the prevalence of childhood myopia is increasing at an alarming rate, so a single treatment intervention is not sufficient and interventions that slow its progression should be combined. Objective: to determine the effect of atropine in 0.01% ophthalmic drops combined with optical correction interventions to slow the progression of childhood myopia. Methodology: a systematic review of articles published in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Ovid MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, and EBSCOhost up to March 28, 2022, was performed. Meta-analysis was performed with a random-effects model by subgroups of interest. Results: eight studies were selected (six randomized clinical trials, one nonrandomized trial, and one cohort study), including a total of 6...

Objetive: To identify the need to implement Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM) courses in the undergraduate curricula of Peruvian universities. The estudy: Descriptive observational study. The prevalence of teaching the EBM course in the medical schools of Peruvian universities was evaluated, as well as the semester in which it was taught and its obligatoriness. Findings: Of 44 medical schools evaluated, eight (18.2%) included an EBM course in their curricula, of which five(62.5%) corresponded to private universities and in seven(87,5%) the course was mandatory. Conclusions: The teaching of EBM in Peruvian university medical schools is low, potentially leading to less confidence and certainty in clinical decision making.
