Abstract：
BACKGROUND: The SAGES Guidelines Committee creates evidence-based clinical practice guidelines. Due to existing health disparities, recommendations made in these guidelines may have different impacts on different populations. The updates to our standard operating procedure described herein will allow us to produce well-designed guidelines that take these disparities into account and potentially reduce health inequities.
METHODS: This paper outlines updates to the SAGES Guidelines Committee Standard Operating Procedure in order to incorporate issues of heath equity into our guideline development process with the goal of minimizing downstream health disparities.
RESULTS: SAGES has developed an evidence-based, standardized approach to consider issues of health equity throughout the guideline development process to allow physicians to better counsel patients and make research recommendations to better address disparities.
CONCLUSIONS: Societies that promote guidelines within their organization must make an intentional effort to prevent the widening of health disparities as a result of their recommendations. The updates to the Guidelines Committee Standard Operating Procedure will hopefully lead to increased attention to these disparities and provide specific recommendations to reduce them.

摘要：
背景：SAGES指南委员会创建了基于证据的临床实践指南。由于现有的健康差距，这些指南中提出的建议可能对不同的人群产生不同的影响。本文描述的标准操作程序的更新将使我们能够制定精心设计的指南，将这些差异考虑在内，并有可能减少健康不平等。
方法：本文概述了SAGES指南委员会标准操作程序的更新，以便将健康公平问题纳入我们的指南制定过程，以最小化下游健康差异。
结果：SAGES开发了一种基于证据的，在整个指南制定过程中考虑健康公平问题的标准化方法，以使医生能够更好地为患者提供咨询，并提出研究建议，以更好地解决差异。
结论：在其组织内推广指南的社会必须有意识地努力防止因其建议而扩大健康差距。准则委员会标准作业程序的更新有望导致对这些差异的更多关注，并提供减少差异的具体建议。
