To evaluate the methodological quality of clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) put into practice by the Peruvian Ministry of Health (MINSA), 17 CPGs from the ministry, published between 2009 and 2014, were independently evaluated by three methodologic experts using the AGREE II instrument. The score of AGREE II domains was low and very low in all CPGs: scope and purpose (medium, 44%), clarity of presentation (medium, 47%), participation of decision-makers (medium, 8%), methodological rigor (medium, 5%), applicability (medium, 5%), and editorial independence (medium, 8%). In conclusion, the methodological quality of CPGs implemented by the MINSA is low. Consequently, its use could not be recommended. The implementation of the methodology for the development of CPGs described in the recentlypublished CPG methodological preparation manual in Peru is a pressing need.
Con el fin de evaluar la calidad metodológica de las guías de práctica clínica (GPC) desarrolladas por el Ministerio de Salud (MINSA) de Perú, se evaluaron 17 GPC del MINSA publicadas entre 2009-2014, por tres expertos metodológicos, de forma independiente, usando el instrumento AGREE II. La puntuación de los dominios del AGREE II fue baja y muy baja en todas las GPC: alcance y propósito (mediana, 44%), claridad de la presentación (mediana, 47%), participación de decisores (mediana, 8%), rigor metodológico (mediana 5%), aplicabilidad (mediana, 5%), e independencia editorial (mediana, 8%). Se concluye que la calidad metodológica de las GPC del MINSA es baja. Como consecuencia, no es posible recomendar su uso. Urge la incorporación de metodología estandarizada para el desarrollo de GPC de calidad en el Perú.
