Abstract

Aims: This study aimed to evaluate the quality of currently available guidelines on non-neurogenic daytime urinary incontinence (DUI) in children and compare their content regarding the assessment of a child with DUI.

Methods: We conducted a systematic search for guidelines on non-neurogenic DUI in children. A multidisciplinary team assessed the quality using the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation II (AGREE) instrument, which contains 23 items organized into six domains. Besides, each member evaluated if they would recommend using the guidelines. We extracted diagnostic recommendations from all guidelines for a descriptive comparison.

Results: Eight guidelines were included. Overall quality scores ranged from 2.6 to 5.8 on a 7-point scale, (1 for lowest and 7 for highest quality). Three guidelines were rated as good, four as moderate, and one as low quality. The AGREE-II domain Clarity and Presentation received high scores across all guidelines, while Rigour of Development and Applicability received the lowest scores. Recommendations for diagnostics were generally similar, with variations observed in guidelines targeting primary and secondary healthcare.

Conclusions: This study is the first to assess the quality of guidelines on non-neurogenic DUI in children. The quality varies, only two out of eight guidelines were recommended by the review team without adjustments. Guideline developers could improve the quality of their guidelines by using tools like AGREE II. Clinicians should consider the findings of our study when selecting a guideline to use in their daily practice.

Clinical trial registration: As this is a review, no clinical trial registration was conducted. The review protocol has been registered in PROSPERO (CRD42021149059).

对儿童日间尿失禁指南的批判性评价:质量评价和诊断建议。
目的:本研究旨在评估目前可用的儿童非神经源性日间尿失禁(DUI)指南的质量,并比较其评估儿童DUI的内容。方法:我们对儿童非神经源性酒后驾车的指南进行了系统的搜索。一个多学科小组使用《研究和评价准则评估II》(AGREE)工具对质量进行了评估,该工具包含分为六个领域的23个项目。此外,每个成员都评估了他们是否会推荐使用指南。我们从所有指南中提取诊断建议进行描述性比较。结果:共纳入8条指南。总体质量得分从2.6到5.8(7分制),(1为最低,7为最高质量)。三个指南被评为良好,四个为中等,一个为低质量。在所有的指导方针中,协议- ii领域的清晰度和表现得到了高分,而开发和适用性的严密性得到了最低的分数。诊断方面的建议大体相似,但针对初级和二级医疗保健的指南存在差异。结论:本研究首次评估了儿童非神经源性DUI指南的质量。质量参差不齐,评审小组在没有调整的情况下推荐了8个指导方针中的2个。指南开发者可以通过使用像AGREE II这样的工具来提高指南的质量。临床医生在选择在日常实践中使用的指南时应考虑我们的研究结果。临床试验注册:由于这是一篇综述,因此没有进行临床试验注册。审查方案已在PROSPERO注册(CRD42021149059)。
