这项研究的目的是评估临床实践指南(CPGs)和儿科牛乳蛋白过敏(CMPA)专家共识中建议的质量和一致性,为将来修订和增强临床指南和共识文件奠定基础。我们在几个数据库中进行了全面的文献检索,包括中国生物医学文献数据库(CBM),PubMed,Embase,WebofScience,UpToDate,ClinicalKey,DynaMedPlus和BMJ最佳实践。我们跨越了从每个数据库开始到2023年10月1日的搜索期。我们将主题词(MeSH/Emtree)和关键词整合到搜索策略中,使用现有文献的搜索方法,并与图书馆员合作开发。两名训练有素的研究人员独立进行了文献筛选和数据提取。我们通过使用研究与评估指南II(AGREEII)和AGREE-卓越推荐(AGREE-REX)工具评估了方法学质量和建议。此外,我们比较并总结了高质量CPG的关键建议。我们的研究包括27个CPG和关于CMPA的专家共识文件。只有四个CPG(14.8%)获得了高质量的AGREEII评级。四个高质量的CPG始终为CMPA提供建议。AGREEII的得分最高的领域是“范围和目的”(77±12%)和“呈现清晰度”(75±22%)。得分最低的领域是“利益相关者参与”(49±21%),“发展的严谨性”(34±20%)和“适用性”(12±20%)。使用AGREE-REX进行的评估通常显示其领域得分较低。结论:儿科CMPA的高质量CPG中的建议显示出基本的一致性。然而,CPG的方法和推荐内容以及专家共识表现出低质量,因此表明有很大的增强空间。指南开发人员应严格遵循AGREEII和AGREE-REX标准,以创建CPG或专家共识,以确保其在管理儿科CMPA中的临床疗效。已知内容:•关于儿科牛乳蛋白过敏(CMPA)的临床实践指南和专家共识的质量仍然不确定。•CMPA管理的关键建议的一致性缺乏明确性。提高指南的方法学质量和CMPA共识需要更加重视利益相关者的参与,严格的开发过程,和实际适用性。•四项高质量准则的建议保持一致。然而,解决临床适用性,整合价值观和偏好,确保可操作的实施对于提高所有准则的质量至关重要。
The objective of this study was to assess the quality and consistency of recommendations in clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) and expert consensus on paediatric cow\'s milk protein allergy (CMPA) to serve as a foundation for future revisions and enhancements of clinical
guidelines and
consensus documents. We conducted a comprehensive literature search across several databases, including the Chinese Biomedical Literature Database (CBM), PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, UpToDate, ClinicalKey, DynaMed Plus and BMJ Best Practice. We spanned the search period from the inception of each database through October 1, 2023. We integrated subject headings (MeSH/Emtree) and keywords into the search strategy, used the search methodologies of existing literature and developed it in collaboration with a librarian. Two trained researchers independently conducted the literature screening and data extraction. We evaluated methodological quality and recommendations by using the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research & Evaluation II (AGREE II) and AGREE-Recommendations for Excellence (AGREE-REX) tools. Moreover, we compared and summarized key recommendations from high-quality CPGs. Our study included 27 CPGs and expert
consensus documents on CMPA. Only four CPGs (14.8%) achieved a high-quality AGREE II rating. The four high-quality CPGs consistently provided recommendations for CMPA. The highest scoring domains for AGREE II were \'scope and purpose\' (77 ± 12%) and \'clarity of presentation\' (75 ± 22%). The lowest scoring domains were \'stakeholder involvement\' (49 ± 21%), \'rigor of development\' (34 ± 20%) and \'applicability\' (12 ± 20%). Evaluation with AGREE-REX generally demonstrated low scores across its domains. Conclusion: Recommendations within high-quality CPGs for the paediatric CMPA showed fundamental consistency. Nevertheless, the methodology and recommendation content of CPGs and the expert consensus exhibited low quality, thus indicating a substantial scope for enhancement.
Guideline developers should rigorously follow the AGREE II and AGREE-REX standards in creating CPGs or expert consensuses to guarantee their clinical efficacy in managing paediatric CMPA. What is Known: • The quality of clinical practice
guidelines and expert
consensus on paediatric cow\'s milk protein allergy (CMPA) remains uncertain. • There is a lack of clarity regarding the consistency of crucial recommendations for CMPA management. What is New: • Improving the methodological quality of
guidelines and
consensus on CMPA requires greater emphasis on stakeholder engagement, rigorous development processes, and practical applicability. • The recommendations from four high-quality guidelines align. However, addressing clinical applicability, integrating values and preferences, and ensuring actionable implementation are critical to improving the quality of all guidelines.
