- Instrument for the implementation of evidence-based medicine with the help of recognized evidence, based on the best scientific, objectifiable and verifiable evidence available today (see below study, clinical). An evidence-based guideline should enable a physician to practice medicine of the highest possible standard according to the current state of knowledge. The development stages of guidelines (S1-S3) differ, according to the methods of the AWMF, in the extent of the systematic literature search and the structuring of the consensus process.
- S1-Guideline: The recommendation prepared by a representative group of experts of the scientific medical society in informal consensus, which is adopted by the board of the society.
- S2-Guideline: Can be developed from formally evaluated statements of the scientific literature and can be discussed and adopted in a formalized consensus process.
- S3-Guideline: All elements of a systematic guideline development are applied.
- The evidence-based strategy of guideline development is characterized by:
- Systematic search, evaluation and synthesis of the best available scientific evidence
- Derivation of the procedure recommended in the guideline from scientific evidence
- Exact documentation of the connection between the respective recommendation and the associated evidence level
- Selection of the evidence-based key recommendations of a guideline using formalised consensus procedures.
