Abstract EN
This article presents a comprehensive review of clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) for the evaluation and/or diagnosis of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children and adolescents.
A systematic review was undertaken to summarise the recommendations reported in CPGs.
MEDLINE® (National Library of Medicine, Bethesda, Maryland, USA), Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature® (EBSCO Information Services, Ipswich, Massachusetts, USA) and other databases were searched to retrieve CPGs.
A total of five guidelines were included for analysis.
The selected CPGs were appraised independently by five reviewers using the AGREE II instrument.
The highest total score was achieved by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence guidelines (91.4%) followed by the CPGs from the Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network, Canadian Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Resource Alliance, British Association of Psychopharmacology and the American Academy of Paediatrics.
By appraising current ADHD guidelines, clinicians cannot only identify CPGs related to ADHD but can also determine which guidelines should be considered of high quality and trustworthy to follow during clinical practice.
The researchers recommend using the AGREE II instrument for CPG appraisal in healthcare professional education and training.
Improvements in the applicability of guidelines are warranted in the future to enhance its clinical use and relevance.
