Resumen

Objetivos Desarrollar recomendaciones sobre el uso de la combinación paracetamol/tramadol (P/T) en pacientes con dolor moderado-intenso, basadas en la mejor evidencia y experiencia. Métodos Se siguió la metodología de grupos nominales y Delphi apoyados por una revisión sistemática de la literatura (RSL). Se seleccionó un panel multidisciplinar de 12 expertos en el manejo del dolor. En la primera reunión de grupo nominal se definió el objetivo, alcance, usuarios, apartados del documento de consenso, así como recomendaciones generales preliminares. Para la RSL se definieron los criterios de inclusión y exclusión, y las estrategias de búsqueda. Dos revisores seleccionaron y analizaron los artículos. Esta evidencia se discutió en una segunda reunión de grupo nominal y se generaron las recomendaciones definitivas. Para cada recomendación, el nivel de evidencia y el grado de recomendación se clasificaron según el modelo de Oxford, y el grado de acuerdo por técnica Delphi. Se definió acuerdo si al menos el 70% de los participantes contestaron ≥ 7 en cada recomendación (1 = total desacuerdo a 10 = total acuerdo). Resultados Se generaron 20 recomendaciones que cubren aspectos generales, como la evaluación del dolor, y específicos del manejo de P/T. Estos últimos abarcan la indicación de la combinación P/T (perfil de paciente, dosificación, pauta, formulaciones), gestión del riesgo (contraindicaciones, precauciones, interacciones, uso concomitante con otras medicaciones, seguimiento, situaciones especiales) y la educación del paciente. Conclusiones Estas recomendaciones pretenden resolver algunos interrogantes clínicos habituales y facilitar la toma de decisiones respecto al uso de la combinación P/T en pacientes con dolor moderado-intenso.
