  • Quality Evaluation on Chinese Clinical Practice Guidelines in 2011

    Objective To evaluate the quality of Chinese clinical practice guidelines published in domestic medical journals in 2011. Methods The following 4 Chinese databases including WanFang Data, VIP, CNKI and CBM were searched from January 2011 to December 2011. The quality of included guidelines was assessed by using AGREE II. Results A total of 75 guidelines published in 2011 were included. Among them, 10 guidelines (13%) stated the conflict of interest, 10 guidelines (13%) mentioned evidence-based developing, 5 guidelines (7%) performed evidence grading system, 8 guidelines (11%) performed recommendation strength grading system, and 4 guidelines (5%) performed both evidence and recommendation strength grading systems. The ratio of the 6 domains’ scores of AGREEⅡ were as follows: scope and purpose (18%), stakeholder involvement (11%), rigour of development (8%), clarity of presentation (34%), applicability (5%), and editorial independence (14%). Conclusion Compared with the guidelines published before, the guidelines of 2011 have a higher quality and some of them are progressively standardized in developing methodology.

  • Quality assessment of clinical practice guidelines for benign prostatic hyperplasia

    Objectives To evaluate the methodological quality of published clinical practice guidelines for benign prostatic hyperplasia. Methods PubMed, EMbase, CNKI, WanFang Data, VIP and CBM databases, website of Yimaitong, and international authoritative guide platforms were electronically searched to collect the relevant clinical practice guidelines or consensus for benign prostate hyperplasia. The retrieval covered the time up to December 13th, 2016. Literatures were independently screened by 2 reviewers. After data extraction, the methodological quality of included guidelines was evaluated by 4 reviewers using the AGREE Ⅱ. Each domain score was calculated and the intraclass correlation coefficient was used to evaluate the consistency among the reviewers. Results A total of 15 clinical practice guidelines were included. The mean scores for the six domains in AGREE Ⅱ were: 72%, 38%, 30%, 58%, 16%, and 40%, respectively. The intraclass correlation coefficient was larger than 0.87, which indicated the total consistency was well. Conclusions The quality of clinical practice guidelines for benign prostatic hyperplasia is not satisfactory as expected. They are heterogeneous in quality and some requires improvement. Guidelines are required to be further developed in methodology in future, especially in three domains, including participants, preciseness and applicability of the design.

  • Quality evaluation and comparative interpretation of guidelines on nutrition in liver disease from 2017 to 2019

    ObjectivesTo evaluate the quality of guidelines on nutrition in liver disease from 2017 to 2019, and to interpret these guidelines so as to provide references for clinical practice.MethodsComputer-assisted literature searches in CNKI, VIP, WanFang Data, Medline (Ovid), The Cochrane Library, PubMed and Medlive databases were performed by two reviewers for guidelines on nutrition in liver disease from January 2017 to July 2019. Two reviewers extracted data and assessed the methodological quality of the included guidelines using AGREE II, separately. Meanwhile, the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was used to assess the degree of consistency.ResultsFour guidelines were included with 2 from China and 2 from Europe. Their average standardised scores in the 6 domains of scope and purpose, stakeholder involvement, rigour of development, clarity, applicability and independence were 79.17%, 71.53%, 78.13%, 85.42%, 61.98% and 43.75%, respectively. The Chinese and European guidelines had similar recommendations for energy and other nutrients, apart from differences in recommendations for protein intake. The European guidelines considered that restricting protein intake was not beneficial for patients with hepatic encephalopathy, while the Chinese guidelines argued that patients with severe hepatic encephalopathy were required to reduce or limit their protein intake.ConclusionsAll 4 guidelines are of average quality and are required to be strengthened in the ‘independence’ domain. Currently, the only consensus on nutrition therapy for liver disease and guidelines on nutrition in end-stage liver disease are available for references in China, with lower quality scores than that of the European guidelines. Therefore, the evidence-based guidelines on nutrition in liver disease should be developed by Chinese national conditions as soon as possible to provide references for clinicians, nurses and clinical nutritionists, enableing them to implement nutrition screening, evaluation, nutritional therapy and follow-up management for patrents with liver disease.

  • Quality assessment of clinical practice guidelines in neonatal field in China

    ObjectiveTo evaluate the quality of Chinese guidelines of newborns so as to provide references for the formulation of relevant guidelines for newborns in the future.MethodsCBM, VIP, WanFang Data, CNKI and Medlive databases were systematically searched to collect clinical practice guidelines in neonatal field in China from January 1st, 2000 to June 28th, 2020. Four researchers independently screened literature, extracted data, used AGREEⅡ to evaluate the methodological quality of the guidelines, used RIGHT to evaluate the reporting quality of the guidelines, and analyzed the score and reporting rate of items in each field.ResultsA total of 35 guidelines were included, and the quantity of publications increased annually. The AGREEⅡ score showed that guidelines published after 2017 were rated higher in all areas than that prior to 2017, with clarity scoring highest (82.9%) and editorial independence scoring lowest (15.4%). The RIGHT score showed that guidelines published after 2017 had higher reporting rates in most areas than that prior to 2017. The highest proportion of reported areas was basic information (75.6% vs. 65.0%). Areas with the lowest reporting ratios in the guidelines prior to 2017 were review and quality assurance (0%), while after 2017 were other areas (4.4%).ConclusionsNeonatal guidelines in China have developed rapidly and the quality of the guideline still requires improvement.
