Abstract Complaints of alleged malpractice are a concern for doctors, however the impact these complaints have on them receives little attention. We present a systematic review of the scientific literature by searching the MEDLINE database, without no time limit, of manuscripts on doctors’ reaction to a malpractice claim, carried out in Spanish, English and French. Their methodological quality was evaluated, and the results were analyzed. The search identified a total of 18 articles, mostly without empirical sample analysis, which described the clinical judicial syndrome construct, its symptomatology, prevalence, etiopathogenesis and issues of prevention and approach. The literature on this subject is very scarce and has poor empirical foundation. However, the available data underscored the relevance of the impact that these complaints have on doctors and highlight the need to establish preventive measures and approaches to the so-called clinical judicial syndrome.
