《2009ESC/ERS肺動脈高壓診斷和治療指南》內(nèi)容預(yù)覽

A great number of Guidelines and Expert Consensus Documents have been issued in recent years by the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) as well as by other societies and organizations. Because of the impact on clinical practice, quality criteria for development of guidelines have been established in order to make all decisions transparent to the user. The rec-ommendations for formulating and issuing ESC Guidelines and Expert Consensus Documents can be found on the ESC website (http://www.escardio.org/knowledge/guidelines).
In brief, experts in the field are selected and undertake a com-prehensive review of the published evidence for management and/ or prevention of a given condition.
Unpublished clinical trial results are not taken into account. A critical evaluation of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures is performed including assessment of the risk/benefit ratio. Estimates of expected health outcomes for larger societies are included, where data exist. The level of evidence and the strength of rec-ommendation of particular treatment options are weighed and graded according to predefined scales, as outlined in Tables 1 and 2. The experts of the writing panels have provided disclosure statements of all relationships they may have which might be per-ceived as real or potential sources of conflicts of interest. These disclosure forms are kept on file at the European Heart House, headquarters of the ESC. Any changes in conflict of interest that arise during the writing period must be notified to the ESC. The Task force report was jointly and entirely supported financially by the ESC and the European Respiratory Society (ERS) and was developed without any involvement of the industry.
