[Efficacy evidence in occupational medicine].
The author shows an overview of the most relevant features that characterize the development of the so-called "Evidence Based Occupational Health" (EBOH). After a short introduction dealing with the origin of the movement towards an evidence based medicine and health services, attributed to Donabedian and Vuori for WHO during the '80s on one hand, and, of course, fuelled by the most comprehensive Cochrane Collaboration, the most recent developments of EBOH both in Europe and in our country are discussed.
