Abstract
In 2013, the Chinese Society of Endocrinology published the 'Management of hyperuricemia and gout: Chinese experts consensus’. In the following five years, a large number of basic researches, clinical studies, and epidemiological results had emerged and need to be popularized in order to improve the understanding and standardizing management of these conditions in general physicians. On the other hand, the methodology of developing clinical guidelines has become more and more scientific, standardized and international. Therefore, based on the 2013 version of the consensus, Chinese Society of Endocrinology decided to develop a guideline for the diagnosis and management of hyperuricemia and gout under standardized methods and procedures of evidence-based clinical practice guidelines. This article will give a review of the status of clinical practice guideline development in China and explain the methods and procedures followed when developing this guideline. We hope this work may provide some useful recommendations for other developers to draft evidence-based clinical practice guidelines.
