ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
Hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy is a clinical syndrome of neurological dysfunction that occurs immediately after birth following an episode of perinatal asphyxia. We conducted a scoping review to assess the methodological quality of clinical practice guidelines that address this condition.METHODOLOGY:
We conducted the evaluation using the AGREE II tool. High methodological quality was defined as a score greater than 70% in every domain.RESULTS:
The analysis included three clinical practice guidelines; the highest scores were in the scope and purpose domain (84.26%; SD, 14.25%) and the clarity of presentation domain (84.26%; SD, 17.86%), while the lowest score corresponded to the applicability domain (62.50%; SD, 36.62%). Two guidelines were classified as high quality and one guideline as low-quality.CONCLUSIONS:
Two of the assessed guidelines were classified as being of high quality; however, the analysis identified shortcomings in the applicability domain, in addition to methodological variation between guidelines developed in middle- or low-income countries versus high-income countries. Efforts are needed to make high-quality guidelines available to approach the management of hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy in newborns.Palabras clave
