> Dear Friends,

> I intend to assess the quality of a series of practice guidelines produced
> by Professional Bodies and Societies. I have the checklists that were
> published in JAMA's User Guide to medical literature and David Sackett's
> EBM book on assessing guidelines for their validity. These don't appear to
> be validated checklists. A recent paper in the Lancet by Roberto Grilli
> et al used a list of 3 unvalidated questions to assess the quality of
> guidelines and suggested that development of a fully validated assessment
> tool may be on the way. If you know of any validated checklist for
> quality assessment of guidelines, please let me know. Cheers!
