Clinical practice guidelines

Clinical practice guideline(s)

a systematically developed statement to assist practitioner and patient decisions about appropriate health care for one or more specific clinical circumstances. The development of clinical practice guidelines can be considered to be a particular type of HTA; or, it can be considered to be one of the types of policymaking that is informed or supported by HTA. Clinical registry trials are a type of multicenter trial design using existing online registries as an efficient platform to conduct patient assignment to treatment and control groups, maintain case records, and conduct follow-up. Such trials that randomize patient assignment to treatment and control groups are randomized clinical registry trials (see Fröbert 2010).
