Abstract:
Background: The presented evidence-based clinical practice guideline (CPG) is proposed as a National CPG using an evidence-based and formal CPG adaptation methodology. The purpose of this study was to adapt the international CPGs’ recommendations for children with bronchiolitis to suit the healthcare system in the Egyptian context. This CPG, ‘diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of Bronchiolitis’, applies to children from 1 through 23 months of age. Other exclusions are noted. The quality of evidence, beneft-harm relationship, and strength of recommendations are indi‑ cated. This study is part of a larger collaborative initiative with the faculty staf of pediatric departments of 15 Egyptian universities and a national research center to formulate a national Committee (EPG) that aims to defne the topics of, assign authors to, and assist in the adaptation of pediatric evidence-based CPGs according to a national strategic plan. The committee is guided by a formal CPG adaptation methodology: the ‘Adapted ADAPTE’. Results: The Bronchiolitis Guideline Adaptation Group (BGAG) reviewed the results of the AGREE II assessment and decided to adapt mainly the Australasian (PREDICT) CPG and for the questions not answered in PREDICT we adapted the relevant recommendations from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) CPG. Seven implementation tools were included: a care pathway for assessment of severity, a clinical algorithm for treatment of acute bronchiolitis in the emergency room, a separate fowchart for assessing babies with bronchiolitis, a power point slide presenta‑ tion lecture for treatment of acute bronchiolitis, patient information in Arabic, a clinical score (Modifed Tal Score) for prediction of bronchiolitis severity, and the criteria for admission and discharge in the hospital.
