ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
In recent years, multiple guidelines on bariatric and metabolic surgery were published, however, their quality remains unknown, leaving providers with uncertainty when using them to make perioperative decisions. This study aims to evaluate the quality of existing guidelines for perioperative bariatric surgery care.METHODS:
A comprehensive search of MEDLINE and EMBASE were conducted from January 2010 to October 2022 for bariatric clinical practice guidelines. Guideline evaluation was carried out using the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation II (AGREE II) framework.RESULTS:
The initial search yielded 1483 citations, of which, 26 were included in final analysis. The overall median domain scores for guidelines were (1) scope andpurpose:
87.5% (IQR 57-94%), (2) stakeholder involvement 49% (IQR 40-64%), (3) rigor of development 42.5% (IQR 22-68%), (4) clarity of presentation 85% (IQR 81-90%), (5) applicability 6% (IQR 3-16%), (6) editorial independence 50% (IQR 48-67%), (7) overall impressions 48% (IQR 33-67%). Only six guidelines achieved an overall score >70%.CONCLUSIONS:
Bariatric surgery guidelines effectively outlined their aim and presented recommendations. However, many did not adequately seek patient input, state search criteria, use evidence rating tools, and consider resource implications. Future guidelines should reference the AGREE II framework in study design.
