Methodology for the Development of Clinical Practice Guidelines for Chinese Patent Medicine (Part 6): Formation and Presentation of Recommendations
Recommendation formation is a key component of clinical practice guidelines for Chinese patent medicine (CPM), and should encompass the determination of the strength and direction of the recommendation, the rationale for the recommendation, and the methodology for implementing the recommendation. Recommendations can be formed through formal consensus and informal consensus. The strength and direction of recommendations for CPM guidelines should be determined by considering the quality of evidence for CPMs, the priority of the clinical questions, the pros and cons of efficacy and adverse effects, patient acceptance, the feasibility of the recommendation and the availability of resources, social fairness, economic benefits, and other influencing factors. In order to better guide guideline developers to consider these factors more rationally, this article provideed a detailed explanation of each factor in the context of the characteristics of TCM.
