Abstract:
As the most important guiding documents in the medical practice, clinical practice guidelines and expert consensuses have received more and more attention in recent years. However, partial domestic experts also have understanding biases on guidelines and consensus. Thus, we analyzed and compared guidelines and consensuses on their definition, status, development, connection, and difference. Combined with the example, we introduced good practice statement along with its formation conditions. Finally, we proposed five recommendations on how to improve the quality of clinical practice guidelines and expert consensus in China.
