Abstract

Introduction: We aimed to analyze gastrointestinal guidelines to assess quality of evidence and strength of recommendation.

Methods: We abstracted clinical practice guidelines and guidance statements from 4 American GI societies (ACG, AGA, ASGE and AASLD) and the United States Multi-Society Task Forc.

Results: Of the 3,609 statements analyzed, only 13% were supported by high level of evidence. The number of statements published annually is increasing, but the level of evidence supporting recommendations is declining over time.

Conclusions: This analysis highlights the need for high quality research in GI to support the development of stronger evidence-based guideline statements.

期刊介绍： Clinical and Translational Gastroenterology (CTG), published on behalf of the American College of Gastroenterology (ACG), is a peer-reviewed open access online journal dedicated to innovative clinical work in the field of gastroenterology and hepatology. CTG hopes to fulfill an unmet need for clinicians and scientists by welcoming novel cohort studies, early-phase clinical trials, qualitative and quantitative epidemiologic research, hypothesis-generating research, studies of novel mechanisms and methodologies including public health interventions, and integration of approaches across organs and disciplines. CTG also welcomes hypothesis-generating small studies, methods papers, and translational research with clear applications to human physiology or disease.
