ObjectivesTo investigate the current situation of clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) of gastric cancer in China, and to assess the quality of these CPGs, so as to provide reference for developing the CPGs of gastric cancer normatively in the future.MethodsCNKI, WanFang Data, CBM and VIP databases were electronically searched to collect the CPGs of gastric cancer in China from inception to January 31st, 2018. Four reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the quality of these CPGs using the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation Ⅱ(AGREE Ⅱ).ResultsA total of 12 guidelines published from 2007 to 2017 were included. Only 1 guideline was evidence-based guideline. The average scores of guidelines in six domains of AGREE Ⅱ were 83.3%, 42.2%, 16.3%, 80.2%, 37.3% and 0% respectively.ConclusionsThe overall quality of included CPGs is insufficient. There is a lack of evidence-based guidelines in China. More attention should be paid to rigor of development and applicability during the development of CPGs in the future, and a timely upgrade is also required.
