Andrew W Kirkpatrick, Derek J Roberts, Roman Jaeschke, Jan De Waele, Bart L De Keulenaer, Juan Duchesne, Ari Leppäniemi, Janeth C Ejike, Michael Sugrue

The Abdominal Compartment Society (www.wsacs.org) previously created highly cited Consensus Definitions/Management Guidelines related to intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) and abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS). Implicit in this previous work, was a commitment to regularly reassess and update in relation to evolving research. Two years preceding the Fifth World Congress on Abdominal Compartment Syndrome, an International Guidelines ...

Objectives: Sarcopenia, defined as an age-associated loss of skeletal muscle function and muscle mass, occurs in approximately 6 - 22 % of older adults. This paper presents evidence-based clinical practice guidelines for screening, diagnosis and management of sarcopenia from the task force of the International Conference on Sarcopenia and Frailty Research (ICSFR). Methods: To develop the guidelines, we drew upon the best available evidence ...

The future of European Nephrology 'Guidelines' - a declaration of intent by European Renal Best Practice (ERBP) Universiteit Gent

Raymond Vanholder, Daniel Abramowicz, Jorge B. Cannata-Andia, Valentina Cocchi, Pierre Cochat, Adrian Covic, Kai-Uwe Eckardt, Denis Fouque, Olof Heimburger, Simon Jenkins, et al.
The disparities of medical practice, together with a growing number of possible interventions, have increased the demand for well-conceived guidance for practitioners [1]. However, this development is hampered by the number and quality of scientific studies that test medical hypotheses, which are often unsatisfactory. This is especially true in nephrology, where well-conducted controlled trials are rare [2]. Because patients with renal failure ...

Adapting Best Practice Guidelines for the Prevention, Screening and Treatment of Substance Misuse in Adolescents to the Belgian Context (ADAPTE-youth) KU Leuven

Alcohol and drug misuse continues to be an important problem amongst adolescents worldwide. In order for Belgian policy makers to efficiently deal with such problems, the extent of alcohol and drug misuse among young people, including environmental factors impacting on this, should be clearly documented. It further requires an understanding on what constitutes ‘good practice’ in prevention, screening and treatment of adolescents. Aims of this ...

Prehospital clinical practice guidelines for unintentional injuries: a scoping review and prioritisation process KU Leuven

Emmy De Buck, Philippe Vandekerckhove
BACKGROUND: Globally, millions of people die and many more develop disabilities resulting from injuries each year. Most people who die from injuries do so before they are transported to hospital. Thus, reliable, pragmatic, and evidence-based prehospital guidance for various injuries is essential. We systematically mapped and described prehospital clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) for injuries in the global context, as well as prioritised ...

ESHRE PGD consortium best practice guidelines for amplification-based PGD. Vrije Universiteit Brussel

Martine De Rijcke, G Harton, Francesco Fiorentino, Céline Moutou, Tugce Pehlivan, Joanne Traeger-Synodinos, J. Harper
In 2005, the European Society for Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE) PGD Consortium published a set of Guidelines for Best Practice PGD to give information, support and guidance to potential, existing and fledgling PGD programmes. The subsequent years have seen the introduction of a number of new technologies as well as the evolution of current techniques. Additionally, in light of recent advice from ESHRE on how practice guidelines ...

Do evidence-based practice guidelines exist to support physiotherapists in the approach of patients with episodic headache? Universiteit Hasselt

Sarah MINGELS, Marita GRANITZER
The International Classification of Headache Disorders provides an extensive framework to classify headaches as primary or secondary. Physiotherapy is indicated if neuro-musculoskeletal dysfunctions are assumed to be related to the pathophysiological process. Mostly patients suffering from episodic migraine, cervicogenic and tension-type headache consult physiotherapists. Various interventions such as manual therapy, relaxation and exercise ...

Best practice guidelines for imaging of herbarium specimens Plantentuin Meise / Agentschap Plantentuin Meise

Michel Guiraud, Quentin Groom, Ann Bogaerts, Sofie De Smedt, Mathias Dillen, Hannu Saarenmaa, Noortje Wijkamp, Steve Van der Mije, Agnes Wijers, Zhengzhe Wu, et al.
This report explains the processes to prepare a herbarium for digital imaging. It is divided into four main sections. The introduction summarizes the aim of mass digitisation and lists the reasons why several institutions started mass digitisation. The second chapter focuses on the preparation phase as it is a critical part of the process. Here the similarities and differences of herbarium collections are examined. Though each collection has its ...

Bridging the gap between what is known and what we do in renal medicine: improving implementability of the European Renal Best Practice guidelines Universiteit Gent

Sabine N van der Veer, Charles RV Tomson, Kitty J Jager, Wim Van Biesen
The increasing volume of evidence on how to treat kidney patients makes it difficult for nephrologists and renal nurses to keep up-to-date. This potentially widens the gap between what is known about best practice and how daily renal care is provided. Rigorously developed clinical practice guidelines can be important tools to bridge this gap. However, just developing and publishing guidelines does not ensure their use in actual practice. In this ...

A survey on the methodological processes and policies of renal guideline groups as a first step to harmonize renal guidelines Universiteit Gent

Maria C Haller, Sabine N van der Veer, Evi Nagler, Charlie Tomson, Andrew Lewington, Brenda R Hemmelgarn, Martin Gallagher, Michael Rocco, Gregorio Obrador, Raymond Vanholder, et al.
Background. Worldwide, several bodies produce renal guidelines, potentially leading to duplication of effort while other topics may remain uncovered. A collaborative work plan could improve efficiency and impact, but requires a common approved methodology. The aim of this study was to identify organizational and methodological similarities and differences among seven major renal guideline bodies to identify methodological barriers to a ...
