In order to help Chinese guideline developers, clinicians, health policy makers and other relevant researchers fully understand and make appropriate use of the World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines, Chinese GRADE Center and Guidelines Review Committee of WHO (WHO-GRC) have written a series of papers about development methods, review principles and the structure and content of WHO guidelines. This is the first paper of this series introducing the basic principles and methods of development based on the WHO Handbook of Guideline Development and WHO Handbook of Guideline Development 2^nd edition. We aim to provide guidance for Chinese guideline developers, and promote the development of high-quality guideline.
