ILCOR Science and Guidelne Update Search, Review and Debate Scientific Evidence, Manage Conflict of Interest, Summarize consensus treatment recommendations, identify gaps in knowledge, explore controversies ILCOR Continuous International Science Review Councils Develop Guidelines and Revise Materials Councils Rollout Training
INTERNATIONAL EVIDENCE-BASED CPR, ECC Implementation • Base guidelines based on the BEST science • Collaborate with worldwide experts • Evaluate evidence objectively • Avoid biases, disclose conflicts of interest
Generalizable knowledge for better clinical practice and healthcare • knowledge from research (‘research evidence’) • knowledge from the analysis of routinely collected and audit data (‘statistics’) • knowledge from the experience of providers and patients (‘know how’)
From Question to Guideline Task Force 1 • Identifies Questions • Assign Worksheet Authors Question International 2010 CPR Conference 2 4 Worksheet Authors • Review Extranet • Searches literature • Endnote, Pubmed, • Embase, Cochrane • Identifies and reads • pertinent articles • Completes worksheet • Worksheets presented • and discussed • Consensus reached ILCOR Consensus On Science Worksheet submission 3 Worksheet Review Guideline recommendation • Task Force Co-Chairs • “Worksheet Gurus” Worksheet Public Comment Worksheet Accepted
Conflict of Interest • A specific conflict of interest form will need to be completed electronically, and updated on a regular basis, as part of the registration process. • In addition to this, to facilitate the review process, a brief declaration regarding any relevant conflicts is required for each worksheet on behalf of all authors.
Databases to be searched • The Cochrane Library (for Systematic Reviews, DARE, and the Central register of Controlled Trials) • Medline (eg. via PubMed, OVID or Scopus) • Embase • the AHA Endnote database • Secondary Searches
Levels of Evidence for Therapeutic Interventions 2010 • LOE 1: Randomised Controlled Trials (or meta-analyses of RCTs) • LOE 2: Studies using concurrent controls without true randomisation (eg. “pseudo”-randomised)(or meta-analyses of such studies) • LOE 3: Studies using retrospective controls • LOE 4: Studies without a control group (eg. case series) • LOE 5: Studies not directly related to the specific patient/population (eg. different patient/population, animal models, mechanical models etc.)
Quality of Study 2008 • Good studies would be expected to have most/all of the quality items suggested to assess the type of study (see below). • Fair studies would be expected to have some of the quality items suggested to assess the type of study (see below). • Poor studies would be expected to have few of the quality items suggested to assess the type of study (see below), but to be of sufficient vale to include for further review.
The choice of outcome designations include: A = Return of spontaneous circulation B = Survival of event C = Survival to hospital discharge D = Intact neurological survival E = Other endpoint
Neutral/opposing evidence table denotes key article(s)
