Stroke is the second leading cause of death worldwide. In Hong Kong, the proportion of deaths caused by cerebrovascular disease accounted for approximately 6.8% of total deaths. Although integrative medicine approaches are widely adapted by patients, there is a lack of guideline to support the corresponding clinical practice for stroke management and rehabilitation. Therefore, we design this framework for the development of an integrative medicine clinical practice guideline (CPG) for stroke.
The framework follows the instructions of World Health Organization (WHO) handbook for guideline development, Guideline International Network (GIN), Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation Instrument (AGREE II), and Reporting Items for Practice Guidelines in Healthcare (RIGHT). Three stages with ten steps are conducted.
Clinical practice guidelines are essential to provide optimal recommendations for patients' prognosis. With proper methodology, this framework will facilitate the formation of clinical practice guideline for stroke through synthesizing evidences in the scope of integrative medicine.
中风是全球范围内的第二大致死原因。在香港，脑血管疾病导致的死亡比例约占总死亡人数的 6.8%。尽管综合医学方法被患者广泛采用，但缺乏支持中风管理和康复相应临床实践的指南。因此，我们设计了这个框架，用于制定中风综合医学临床实践指南 (CPG)。
该框架遵循世界卫生组织 (WHO) 指南制定手册、指南国际网络 (GIN)、评估研究和评估工具 (AGREE II) 以及医疗保健实践指南报告项目 (RIGHT) 的说明。共进行三个阶段十个步骤。
临床实践指南对于为患者预后提供最佳建议至关重要。通过适当的方法，本框架将通过综合综合医学范围内的证据，促进中风临床实践指南的形成。
