Review Meta Analysis
Quality assessment of clinical practice guidelines for adaptation in burn injury.
A number of clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) are available for managing burn injury patients but clinical practice is highly variable. We report the first steps to trans-contextual adaptation of international burn CPGs to local settings. ⋯ Although existing CPGs for the management of burn may accurately reflect agreed clinical practice, most performed poorly when evaluated for methodological quality. Future CPG efforts addressing these methodological shortcomings would add substantially to the improved management of burned patients.
