“…In the field of otolaryngology, prior studies have assessed CPGs for a variety of clinical scenarios including Meniere's disease, posttonsillectomy pain, and medullary thyroid carcinoma. [23][24][25] In this study, we sought to (1) conduct a systematic review of all CPGs related to difficult airway management and (2) comprehensively evaluate the development process and methodological quality of those guidelines using the AGREE II instrument. We expect this endeavor to yield targeted recommendations for the improvement of future guidelines.…”

ObjectiveManagement of the difficult airway can be a challenging process, which necessitates actionable recommendations from well‐established guidelines. Herein, clinical practice guideline (CPG) quality is evaluated using the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation (AGREE II) instrument.Study DesignA systematic literature search was performed using Scopus, EMBASE, and MEDLINE via PubMed.SettingLiterature database.MethodsData were abstracted from relevant guidelines and appraised by 4 expert reviewers in the 6 domains of quality defined by AGREE II. Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) were calculated across domains to quantify interrater reliability.ResultsTwelve guidelines met the inclusion criteria. With a mean quality score of 83.1%, the highest quality guideline was authored by the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA). Low‐quality content was observed in CPGs authored by the Japanese Society of Anesthesiologists (JSA) and the Chinese Collaboration Group for Emergency Airway Management (CCGEAM). Overall, deficits were most pronounced in domains describing the involvement of stakeholders, developmental rigor, and editorial independence. These findings were consistent among the panel of independent reviewers, with high ICC inter‐rater reliability scores of 58.0% to 70.0% for the referenced domains.ConclusionBy providing a comprehensive appraisal of guidelines, this report may serve as a reference for clinicians seeking to understand and improve upon the developmental quality of difficult airway management resources. According to AGREE II criteria for the quality of the guideline creation process, the 2022 ASA guideline outperforms its predecessors.

Background Delays in the diagnosis and therapy of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo can greatly impact quality of life and increase healthcare costs for patients. This study aimed to appraise the quality of clinical practice guidelines for the diagnosis and management of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. Methods A comprehensive database search of clinical practice guidelines was completed up to 30 October 2021. Four independent reviewers used the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation II instrument in the quality appraisal. Results The highest score was in ‘clarity and presentation’ (58.33 ± 22.7). The lowest score was in ‘applicability’ (13.96 ± 30.1). Overall, four clinical practice guidelines were ‘low quality’ and only one guideline was ‘high quality’. Conclusion This review identified a significant lack of quality in clinical practice guideline development for benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, highlighting the need for a more rigorous approach for future guideline development.
