Abstract:
Practical guidelines are commonly used for supporting medical decisions. This report presents the process and a list of criteria for the development of laboratory guidelines. Laboratory guidelines should be developed in a transparent process by a multidisciplinary team, with graded recommendations based on critically appraised scientific studies. The systematic, standardized and explicit methodology adapted to laboratory medicine should be followed when the developing recommendations involving the use of laboratory tests. Regular review is needed. The lack of timely updates is often a major cause of non-adherence to guidelines.
