Description
Summary:Diabetes mellitus is one of the most significant global health emergencies of the 21st century. Every year, an increasing number of people succumb to the condition and therefore suffer life-changing complications. So management of this disease has an important role to prevent complications. In this study, our objective is to assess the quality of guidelines related to the significant public health problem diabetes that have been developed by international and national organizations using the AGREE II tool. This observational study assesses the quality of clinical practice guidelines used in the management of diabetes with AGREE II tool. Statistical analysis was performed using the SPSS 20 program package. The overall quality score of the guidelines ranges between 3 and 6.25. While NICE's guidelines scored the highest, the guidelines of the National Diabetes Foundation scored the lowest. More comprehensive studies are needed for assessing the quality of guidelines in every subject.
