HOW GOOD ARE LOW BACK PAIN GUIDELINES? A CRITICAL APPRAISAL OF THE QUALITY OF CLINICAL PRACTICE GUIDELINES USING THE AGREE II TOOL

Clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) provide evidence-based recommendations for clinical practice, but their increasing number in the last few years arises possible concerns about their quality. Preliminary results on the methodological quality of CPGs for low back pain management (LBP) are here presented. The results of this review can help researchers and Italian policymakers select and adopt the highest quality Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs) for Low Back Pain (LBP) management in the CPG National Systems (Sistema Nazionale Linee Guida).
