The Difficulties and Methodological Suggestions for the Recommendation Formation of Clinical Practice Guidelines of Traditional Chinese Medicine
Currently, there are many difficulties in formulating recommendations of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) clinical practice guidelines. This paper analyzed and summarized the unique or prominent difficult issues in the formulation of recommendations faced by TCM guidelines, such as experts' professional background and experience bringing about the preferance from the academic emotion, inconsistency between different academic schools making it difficult to reach consensus, lack of guiding principles of the decision weight of different dimensions for recommendations. Therefore, methodological suggestions have been put forward, including organizing parallel TCM and western medicine consensus group, improving the method of combining TCM and western medicine paradigm, attaching great importance to the evidence-based governance of academic schools, and promoting the research on different dimensions for recommendation formulation, which may provide a methodological reference for the guideline development.
