Neurocritical Care Society Guidelines Update: Lessons from a Decade of GRADE Guidelines

Surgical research in Colombia part 2: Scientific production of Colombian academic surgeons

“…Training in research methodology, clinical epidemiology, scientific publication, statistics, among other areas, which are part of the surgeon's non-surgical skills, should be reinforced. Another proposal would be to rethink the way in which research working groups are formed, since recent evidence found that including a methodologist in a working group improves the quality of the evidence produced [ 25 ], and therefore, the probability of publishing in a journal of greater impact. Considering the current difficulties of surgery in low- and middle-income countries, such as Colombia, it is necessary that academic surgery advances rapidly, in order to progressively reach the objectives of global surgery and the needs established by the health institutions of each nation [ 3 , 5 ].…”

Given the society's shift toward use of the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) framework of guideline development [2,3], the scope was limited by design, with a focus on 12 management questions thought to be most impacted by new evidence and evolving management paradigms in the intervening decade. GRADE guidelines are developed around specific clinical questions in a population, intervention, comparison, and outcomes (PICO) format, narrowing the scope and shifting away from sweeping reviews of all aspects of disease management.…”
