Descriptor	revisión
Entry term(s)	revisión académica revisión bibliográfica revisión de casos múltiples revisión de casos publicados revisión tutorial
Scope note:	Artículo o libro publicado tras el análisis del material publicado sobre una materia. Puede ser variablemente exhaustivo y el intervalo de tiempo del material analizado puede ser amplio o corto, pero lo más frecuente es que se deseen revisiones de la literatura actual. Del mismo modo, el material textual examinado puede ser amplio y abarcar, específicamente en medicina, material clínico asi como de investigación experimental o informes de casos. Las revisiones del estado del arte tienden a tratar asuntos más actuales. La revisión de la literatura debe diferenciarse del ARTÍCULO HISTÓRICO sobre el mismo tema, pero una revisión de literatura histórica también está incluida en el ámbito de este tipo de publicación.

Scope note:

An article or book published after examination of published material on a subject. It may be comprehensive to various degrees and the time range of material scrutinized may be broad or narrow, but the reviews most often desired are reviews of the current literature. The textual material examined may be equally broad and can encompass, in medicine specifically, clinical material as well as experimental research or case reports. State-of-the-art reviews tend to address more current matters. A review of the literature must be differentiated from HISTORICAL ARTICLE on the same subject, but a review of historical literature is also within the scope of this publication type.

The review usually cites the literature in which the known cases were published and may or may not include clinical and laboratory data.
