“…Although the process took slightly longer than was targeted, this effort demonstrated the feasibility of producing rapid and trustworthy clinical practice guidelines following rigorous methodology. The recommendations were rapidly picked up by WHO member states, and corticosteroids have quickly become the standard of care for the management of patients with severe and critical COVID-19 [17].…”

Purpose of reviewIf developed using rigorous methods and produced in a timely manner, clinical practice guidelines have the potential to improve patient outcomes. Although the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the challenges involved in generating reliable clinical guidance, it has also provided an opportunity to address these challenges. Recent findingsNew research addressing drugs for COVID-19 is being produced at unprecedented rates. Incorporating this new knowledge into patient care can be daunting for the average clinician. In collaboration with the BMJ and MAGIC, the WHO has developed a living guideline initiative with the goal of providing rapid and trustworthy clinical guidance in response to practice-changing evidence. As new evidence becomes available, it is incorporated into a living network meta-analysis that informs these guidelines, which are iteratively updated. Until this point, the group has generated guidelines addressing the use of corticosteroids, remdesivir, hydroxychloroquine, lopinavir/ritonavir, and ivermectin for COVID-19.
