Guideline commentary.

Abstract

Guideline commentary is a series to help readers make sense of published guidelines by offering a detailed appraisal of a guideline, or a specific section of a guideline, in a careful and considered manner. In doing so we can advance our knowledge and understanding of reviewing guidelines to inform our practice.This process is designed to assess the usefulness of the guideline and underpinning evidence, in terms of decision making and implications for practice.
