Conflicts of interest (COIs) of contributors to a guideline project and the funding of that project can influence the development of the guideline. Comprehensive reporting of information on COIs and funding is essential for the transparency and credibility of guidelines.
To develop an extension of the Reporting Items for practice Guidelines in HealThcare (RIGHT) statement for the reporting of COIs and funding in policy documents of guideline organizations and in guidelines: the RIGHT-COI&F checklist.
The recommendations of the Enhancing the QUAlity and Transparency Of health Research (EQUATOR) network were followed. The process consisted of registration of the project and setting up working groups, generation of the initial list of items, achieving consensus on the items, and formulating and testing the final checklist.
International collaboration.
44 experts.
Consensus on checklist items.
The checklist contains 27 items: 18 about the COIs of contributors and 9 about the funding of the guideline project. Of the 27 items, 16 are labeled as policy related because they address the reporting of COI and funding policies that apply across an organization's guideline projects. These items should be described ideally in the organization's policy documents, otherwise in the specific guideline. The remaining 11 items are labeled as implementation related and they address the reporting of COIs and funding of the specific guideline.
The RIGHT-COI&F checklist requires testing in real-life use.
The RIGHT-COI&F checklist can be used to guide the reporting of COIs and funding in guideline development and to assess the completeness of reporting in published guidelines and policy documents.

指南项目贡献者的利益冲突（COI）和项目资金可能会影响指南的制定。全面报告 COI 和资金信息对于指南的透明度和可信度至关重要。
为了在医疗保健实践指南报告（RIGHT）声明中扩展对指南组织政策文件和指南中 COI 和资金的报告，制定 RIGHT-COI&F 清单。
遵循增强健康研究质量和透明度（EQUATOR）网络的建议。该过程包括项目注册和工作组设立、项目初始清单的生成、项目共识的达成以及最终清单的制定和测试。

清单项目的共识。
清单包含 27 项：18 项涉及贡献者的 COI，9 项涉及指南项目的资金。在这 27 个项目中，有 16 个被标记为政策相关，因为它们涉及报告适用于组织内所有指南项目的 COI 和资金政策。这些项目最好在组织的政策文件中描述，否则在具体的指南中描述。其余 11 个项目被标记为实施相关，它们涉及具体指南的 COI 和资金报告。
RIGHT-COI&F 清单需要在实际使用中进行测试。
RIGHT-COI&F 清单可用于指导指南制定中的 COI 和资金报告，并评估已发表指南和政策文件中报告的完整性。
