    Objective: To systematize the evidence on the effectiveness of silver sulfadiazine treatment compared to other treatments in preventing infections in burn patients. Materials and Methods: A systematic review of international research studies was conducted, obtained through searches in the following databases: Epistemonikos, PubMed, Elsevier, Google Scholar, and Scielo. These studies were selected and analyzed using the GRADE system to determine the corresponding level of evidence. The search was performed using the DECS and MESH descriptors for Spanish and English searches, respectively. 20% (2/10) of the reviewed articles were from the United States and Iran, respectively, and 60% (6/10) were from the Philippines, the Netherlands, Brazil, India, the United Kingdom, and Thailand, respectively. Results: 30% (3/10) of the evidence indicates that the effectiveness of silver sulfadiazine is similar to other treatments in preventing infections in burn patients, while 70% (7/10) indicate that other treatments are more effective than silver sulfadiazine. Conclusions: 3 out of 10 pieces of evidence show that the effectiveness of silver sulfadiazine is similar to other treatments in preventing infections in burn patients, while 7 out of 10 pieces of evidence show that other treatments are more effective than silver sulfadiazine.
