Abstract:
Objective:To evaluate the reporting quality of clinical practice guidelines in medical imaging.Methods:Medical imaging guidelines were searched in CNKI, Wanfang data, CBM, Web of Science, PubMed, and other guideline-related websites. The search period is from January 1, 2017 to February 26, 2022. According to the reporting items for practice guidelines in healthcare (RIGHT) checklist, two researchers separately extracted information from the included guidelines and evaluated the reporting quality, and cross-checked them.Results:Eighteen guidelines in Chinese were included. The average reporting rate was (56.2±14.3) %. The reporting rate of basic information in Domain 1 (75.9%, 82/108) and other information in Domain 7 (68.5%, 37/54) were the highest, while funding and declaration and management of interests in Domain 6 (25.0%, 18/72) had the lowest reporting rate. The included guidelines had a lower reporting rate in item 2 (executive summary of recommendations, 27.8%, 5/18), item 11a (type of systematic review on which the guideline is based, 5.6%, 1/18), item 14a (patient preferences and values, 22.2%, 4/18), item 15 (evidence to decision processes recommendations, 22.2%, 4/18), and item 16 (external review, 16.7%, 3/18).Conclusions:The overall reporting quality of medical imaging guidelines needs to be improved. It is recommended that future guideline developers master the guideline research and evaluation tools, such as the RIGHT statement, and fully report the details and key information to improve the transparency and comprehensiveness of the guidelines.
