“…The search strategy was adapted from previously validated search algorithms. 4,5 We included all articles describing or reviewing a clinical practice guideline that was intended for use in Africa. Observational studies or experimental trials implementing or evaluating a proposed guideline, case-series or case-reports recommending a guideline, and other literature (conference abstracts, theses, etc.)…”

Clinical guideline utilization in Uganda: A scoping review and comparison

et al. 2022

Countries such as Uganda often depend on clinical practice guidelines from developed countries, non-profit charities, and international organizations. The sources and organizations that provide most of the guidelines used in Uganda are not well documented. The primary objective of this article was to determine whether a scoping review of scientific, peer-reviewed literature could identify the clinical guidelines actually used in Uganda. A secondary objective was to examine which organizations provided the majority of guidelines used. We therefore searched for consensus documents, guidelines, and meta-analyses published for use in African countries indexed in PubMed, OVID Medline, and Embase, and then surveyed guidelines currently in use in Ugandan medical practice. We thus compared these two sets of guidelines, as well as their breadth, geography, and sources, to make recommendations for similar low-income countries.

Moreover, we conducted the search in the database MEDLINE (Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online) (Ovid) using the Canadian Agency for Drugs and Technologies in Health broad guideline filter (All Clinical Trials—MEDLINE, Embase, PsycInfo, 2022 ), which has the highest sensitivity in comparison to other identified guideline filters, according to Lunny et al ( 2020 ).

Aims This study aimed to identify recommendations for quality nursing care provision, focusing on the possibilities of delivering telehealth nursing at the national level in the Czech Republic. Background The significant growth in the use of technology in health care has changed the environment for patient care and how health care is provided. The COVID‐19 pandemic has shown the requirement for telemedicine use in everyday clinical practice. Evaluation A literature review aims to find guidelines, recommendations, manuals, standards or consensus papers published in 2017–2022. Key Issues In total, 12 guidelines were identified. Based on a critical evaluation carried out by two experts, the World Health Organization guideline focused on digital interventions to strengthen the health system has been identified. This guideline was evaluated to be of the highest quality and in line with the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluations methodology. Conclusion The provision of telemedicine nursing interventions is currently limited at the national level and is not entirely accepted in reimbursement yet. The interprofessional collaboration will be initiated to make recommendations for specific patient groups. Implications for Nursing Management Selected guidelines can be recommended for national adoption to set up and support nursing interventions in telemedicine, including nursing management settings.

“…Our search strategy will use the Boolean operator "AND" to combine search terms relating to CPGs and shoulder conditions. The Canadian Agency for Drugs and Technologies in Health (CADTH) filter (broad) for identifying CPGs will be used as it has the highest sensitivity as validated by Lunny et al 24 Search terms relating to atraumatic shoulder conditions will be those previously developed and used in Cochrane reviews for shoulder conditions and advised by the Cochrane Musculoskeletal group. The search strategy for these databases is detailed in online supplemental appendix 1.…”

Clinical practice guidelines for the management of atraumatic shoulder conditions: protocol for a systematic review

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

IntroductionShoulder conditions are a major cause of morbidity in the general population. Many clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) for shoulder conditions have been developed. Their purpose is to provide evidence-based recommendations to assist clinicians in providing optimal care to maximise patient outcomes. The aim of this systematic review is to identify, appraise, and compare the content and quality of CPGs for atraumatic shoulder conditions.Methods and analysisCPGs for atraumatic shoulder conditions will be included provided they make recommendations about diagnosis and/or management, are identified by their authors as a guideline and are consistent with the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation (AGREE) II definition of a guideline. A systematic search of electronic databases, online guideline repositories and the websites of relevant professional societies will be conducted to identify eligible CPGs. Search terms relating to shoulder conditions (eg, ‘adhesive capsulitis’, ‘rotator cuff’ and ‘bursitis’) will be combined with a validated search filter for CPGs. Pairs of independent reviewers will determine eligibility of CPGs identified by the search. Quality appraisal of included CPGs will be performed using the AGREE II instrument. Recommendations from each CPG and how they were determined will be extracted and compared across similar CPGs. Results from this systematic review will be reported according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis statement.Ethics and disseminationEthical approval is not required for this systematic review. The results from this study will be published in a peer-reviewed journal and disseminated to professional societies that publish shoulder CPGs, clinical policy groups, clinicians, researchers and consumers.PROSPERO registration numberCRD42020182723.
