Description
Summary:Suicide is a complex, global public health problem. The Colombian clinical practice guideline provides relevant input for its prevention, diagnosis and treatment. The objective was to evaluate the methodological quality, credibility and applicability of the Colombian clinical practice guideline for suicidal behaviour. An academic group of 12 evaluators was established to assess the guide and its recommendations in a standardised way, using the AGREE-II and AGREE-REX instruments. The evaluations were given in the range of 0.0–1.0 with 0.7 as a cut-off point for appropriate quality. The global assessment of the AGREE-II was greater than 0.7 in the dimensions: "scope and objective" (0.86), "clarity of presentation" (0.89), "applicability" (0.73) and "editorial independence" (0.89). The lowest scores were for “participation of those involved” (0.67) and “rigour in preparation” (0.69). With the AGREE-REX, the results in all dimensions were below 0.70, which indicates lower quality and suitability for use. The adoption process of the Colombian guideline for suicidal behaviour was a rigorous methodological process, while the practice recommendations were valued as of low applicability due to low support in local evidence. It is necessary to strengthen the generation and synthesis of evidence at the national level to give greater support and applicability to the practice recommendations. El suicidio es un complejo problema de salud pública global. La guía colombiana de práctica clínica es un insumo relevante para su prevención, diagnóstico y tratamiento. El objetivo es evaluar la calidad metodológica, la credibilidad y la aplicabilidad de la guía de práctica clínica colombiana sobre la conducta suicida. Un grupo académico de 12 evaluadores se estandarizó para la valoración de la guía y sus recomendaciones mediante los instrumentos AGREE-II y AGREE-REX. Las valoraciones se dieron en el intervalo de 0,0–1,0, con 0,7 como punto de corte para apropiada calidad. La valoración global del AGREE-II fue > 0,7 en las dimensiones «alcance y objetivo» (0,86), «claridad de la presentación» (0,89), «aplicabilidad» (0,73) e «independencia editorial» (0,89). Los menores puntajes fueron para «participación de los implicados» (0,67) y «rigor en la elaboración» (0,69). Con el AGREE-REX los resultados en todas las dimensiones estuvieron por debajo de 0,70, lo cual indica menores calidad e idoneidad de uso. El proceso de adopción de la guía colombiana sobre conducta suicida fue un pro
