Evidence-based medicine is a contribution for statistical design and management, that allows the gathering of scientific information, but does not completely exclude bias. Its methodology proceeds with order and caution, generating a highly probable mass of knowledge. The quality of the information obtained from diverse sources such as meta-analysis to expert opinions is classified in different levels according to the «strength» of the evidence in which it is based. The best contribution of evidence-based medicine is probably for diseases of incidence and does not replace clinical experience and patients-physician relationship. Basically we treat ill people and not illnesses. Without clinical experience, medical practice can be tyrannized by evidence-based medicine that can become inapplicable or inappropriate. Without evidence-based medicine, medical practice will not be updated, limiting our professional skills (Rev Méd Chile 2005; 133: 1252-8)info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSociedad Médica de SantiagoRevista médica de Chile v.133 n.10 20052005-10-01text/htmlhttp://www.scielo.cl/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S0034-98872005001000016es10.4067/S0034-98872005001000016
