espanolLas reclamaciones por presunto defecto de praxis resultan una preocupacion relevante para los facultativos, sin embargo, el impacto que las mismas tienen sobre estos recibe escasa atencion. Se presenta una revision sistematica de la literatura cientifica mediante la busqueda en la base de datos MEDLINE, sin limite temporal, de manuscritos en castellano, ingles o frances, sobre la reaccion de los facultativos ante una reclamacion por negligencia. Se evaluo su calidad metodologica y analizaron sus resultados. La busqueda identifico un total de 18 articulos, en su mayoria sin analisis de muestra empirica, que describian la sintomatologia, el constructo de sindrome clinico judicial, su prevalencia, etiopatogenia y aspectos de prevencion y abordaje. La literatura medica al respecto resulta muy escasa y con una pobre fundamentacion empirica. Sin embargo, los datos disponibles subrayan la relevancia del impacto de las reclamaciones sobre los facultativos y urgen a instaurar medidas de prevencion y abordaje del denominado sindrome clinico judicial. EnglishComplaints 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 analysed. 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.
