Dataset for 'Evidence-Based Medicine Within Surgical Practice and Training: A Scoping Review'

<b>Background</b>:Evidence-based medicine (EBM) is a fundamental element of modern surgical practice. However, its integration into surgical training remains challenging. Through a scoping review, this study mapped existing evidence on the practice of EBM in surgery, focusing on knowledge, attitudes, barriers, and curricula. <b>Methods</b>: The literature was systematically searched through 3 databases and 2 registers. Fifty articles published over a 22-year period (2001–2023) were identified based on predefined eligibility criteria. These were reviewed using Arksey and O'Malley's methodological framework. The review was checked against the PRISMA 2018 checklist for scoping reviews.
