Abstract
JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: Estudos de coorte são úteis na identificação de fatores de risco e prognósticos, no acompanhamento da história natural de certas doenças e no estudo do impacto de intervenções diagnósticas e terapêuticas. O objetivo deste estudo foi subsidiar o leitor na avaliação crítica de artigos que lançaram mão deste tipo de delineamento de pesquisa. CONTEÚDO: Na avaliação dos estudos de coorte, é crítico observar a existência de vieses de seleção e informação, a continuidade do seguimento dos sujeitos de pesquisa, o controle dos fatores de confusão, a importância dos resultados e sua aplicabilidade na prática clínica. CONCLUSÕES: O conhecimento dos fatores que afetam a qualidade dos estudos de coorte permite ao intensivista selecionar as melhores evidências para auxílio na tomada de decisões clínicas.
