The formulation process of recommendations in evidence-based clinical practice guidelines was often complex and cumbersome. This paper described the evolution of levels of evidence and strength of recommendations in medical research and analyzed existing problems when making recommendations. We also summarized and introduced the method of formulating the final recommendation. At present, there isn’t a perfect and uniform method to guide the formulation of recommendations. But some organizations provided different content frameworks or auxiliary tools to guide formulation of recommendations. Developers of evidence-based clinical practice guidelines can learn from their experiences, combine with their own characteristics of guidelines such as specific target population and specific clinical situations, establish a rational method of recommendations formation.
