Guidelines development process

How living guidelines work

The living guidelines use ‘evidence surveillance’ systems that continually scan for relevant new research, incorporate it into evidence summaries and rapidly update guideline recommendations whenever there is a substantial change in the evidence.

The ultimate goal is to create a near real-time, closed-loop evidence system in which global evidence and local data are integrated for insight and health decision making.

Guideline recommendations will continue to be developed and published using the MAGICapp platform.

Diagram of how the evidence summaries turn newly published research and clinical practice data into updated recommendations, which then feed into clinical practice and policy

Further general, non-technical information about guideline development is documented in our Living Guidelines Methods and Processes.

Living guideline methods are also described in our paper, Feasibility of national living guideline methods: The Australian Stroke Guidelines, published in the Journal of Clinical Epidemiology.

(Hill K, English C, Campbell BCV, McDonald S, Pattuwage L, Bates P, Lassig C, Turner T; Living Stroke Guidelines Executive Group and Content Development Group. Feasibility of national living guideline methods: The Australian Stroke Guidelines. J Clin Epidemiol. 2022 Feb;142:184-193. doi: 10.1016/j.jclinepi.2021.11.020. Epub 2021 Nov 14. PMID: 34785347).

Guideline process documents

The 2016 NHMRC Standards for Guidelines outline requirements to document all guideline development processes, which are submitted for approval along with changes to recommendations.

Technical reports

A record of the evidence review process for our living stroke guidelines is now detailed in MAGICapp.

For each topic, you can view the clinical questions, PICO (population, intervention, comparator and outcomes), included references, evidence profile and summary. These feed into the rationale and evidence to decision for each recommendation, outlining benefits and harms, certainty of the evidence, preferences and values, and resources and other considerations.

To see these details, follow the links to topics in the Clinical Guidelines for Stroke Management, and click the tabs below each recommendation.

Administrative reports

Administrative reports are also produced for each guideline update submitted to NHMRC, with information specific to the topics updated. This includes which members of the Content Development Group were involved, and any conflicts of interest they have reported.
