BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluations (GRADE)-ADOLOPMENT methodology has been widely used to adopt, adapt, or de novo develop recommendations from existing or new guideline and evidence synthesis efforts. The objective of this guidance is to refine the operationalization for applying GRADE-ADOLOPMENT. METHODS: Through iterative discussions, online meetings, and email communications, the GRADE-ADOLOPMENT project group drafted the updated guidance. We then conducted a review of handbooks of guideline-producing organizations, and a scoping review of published and planned adolopment guideline projects. The lead authors refined the existing approach based on the scoping review findings and feedback from members of the GRADE working group. We presented the revised approach to the group in November 2022 (approximately 115 people), in May 2023 (approximately 100 people), and twice in September 2023 (approximately 60 and 90 people) for approval. RESULTS: This GRADE guidance shows how to effectively and efficiently contextualize recommendations using the GRADE-ADOLOPMENT approach by doing the following: (1) showcasing alternative pathways for starting an adolopment effort; (2) elaborating on the different essential steps of this approach, such as building on existing evidence-to-decision (EtDs), when available or developing new EtDs, if necessary; and (3) providing examples from adolopment case studies to facilitate the application of the approach. We demonstrate how to use contextual evidence to make judgments about EtD criteria, and highlight the importance of making the resulting EtDs available to facilitate adolopment efforts by others. CONCLUSION: This updated GRADE guidance further operationalizes the application of GRADE-ADOLOPMENT based on over 6 years of experience. It serves to support uptake and application by end users interested in contextualizing recommendations to a local setting or specific reality in a short period of time or with limited resources.

Bariatrická chirurgie je v současnosti nejúčinnější léčbou těžké obezity. Jejím výsledkem je dlouhodobý úbytek hmotnosti a prokázaný pozitivní vliv na komorbidity spojené s obezitou. V posledních dvaceti letech celosvětově prudce narůstá počet bariatrických operací. Proto je patrná snaha o konsenzus v perioperační péči v této oblasti chirurgie na základě ověřených důkazů. Metody: Pracovní skupina Společné sekce bariatricko-metabolické chirurgie České chirurgické společnosti (ČCHS) a České obezitologické společnosti (ČOS) zpracovala text praktického doporučení pro koncepci ERAS (Enhanced Recovery After Surgery) pro perioperační péči v bariatrické chirurgii. Vycházela z doporučení společnosti ERAS aktualizované v roce 2021. Původní text originálního doporučení pracovní skupina adoptovala, následně adaptovala a případně připojila ke konkrétním položkám svůj komentář. Závěrečnou fází tvorby bylo elektronické hlasování všech členů pracovní skupiny, kterým byla vyjádřena míra konsenzu nad jednotlivými elementy doporučení. Výsledky: Ve většině bodů se česká pracovní skupina shodla s doporučeními ERABS (Enhanced Recovery After Bariatric Surgery). Pro některé intervence z protokolu ERAS pro bariatrickou operativu neexistují kvalitní důkazy. Proto je nutné pro praxi založenou na důkazech extrapolovat z jiných chirurgických výkonů a oblastí. Závěr: Doporučení je určeno pro klinickou praxi v bariatrické operativě s protokolem ERAS vycházející ze současných poznatků a doporučení. Je založeno na recentním a zevrubném doporučení společnosti ERAS, které bylo českou pracovní skupinou společné sekce bariatrické a metabolické chirurgie adoptováno a adaptováno. Česká verze v komentářích odráží případné doplnění a upřesnění. Originální článek byl publikován v Rozhledech v chirurgii (Satinský et al., 2023, doi:10.33699/ PIS2023.102.7.283-297).
Introduction: Bariatric surgery is the most effective treatment for the morbid obesity. It results in sustained weight loss as well as pronounced effects on obesity-related comorbidities. In the last twenty years the number of procedures performed worldwide increased. Therefore, the effort to establish a consensus in perioperative care based on best evidence in this issue is evident. Methods: Working Group of Joint Section of Bariatric and Metabolic Surgery of Czech Surgery Society and Czech Obesitology Society reached practical recommendations for ERAS (Enhanced Recovery After Surgery) in perioperative care in bariatric surgery. It issued from ERAS recommendations published in 2021. Working group adopted the original text, consequently adapted and in particular cases affixed its commentary. The electronic voting of all members of working group was the final phase, by which the strenght of consensus of particular elements was expressed. Results: The Czech working group reached the consensus with recommendations ERABS (Enhanced Recovery After Bariatric Surgery) in the most elements. For some interventions of ERAS protocol for bariatric surgery the quality of evidence is low. Therefore, the evidence-based practices may need to be extrapolated from other surgeries. Conclusion: The recommendation is appointed for clinical practice in bariatric surgery with protocol ERAS based on updated evidence and recommendations. It is based on recent and comprehensive ERAS recommendation, which was adopted and adapted by the Czech working group of Joint Section of Bariatric and Metabolic Surgery of Czech Surgery Society and Czech Obesitology Society. The Czech version contents some supplementations and specifications in commentaries. Original article was published in Rozhledy v chirurgii (Satinský et al., 2023, doi:10.33699/PIS2023.102.7.283-297).
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this paper is to propose an approach to visual unification of adapted guidelines and transformation of classifications of certainty of evidence (CoE) and strength of recommendations (SoR) into the approach suggested by the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) working group. STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING: We carried out a literature search in MEDLINE and Epistemonikos, an analysis of selected guidelines, and an iterative discussion to decide on a consistent visual presentation and CoE and SoR depictions. RESULTS: The results of the literature search suggested this issue had not been addressed yet. The analysis of the chosen eight guidelines showed significant heterogeneity in the visual presentation of recommendations. Recommendations were often worded similarly to whether or not they were strong or conditional. Many guidelines contained "statements," almost all of which did not fulfill the good practice statement (GPS) criteria. We proposed an approach for transforming recommendations that are being adapted and which use various classification systems for CoE and SoR into GRADE and a consistent visual style. CONCLUSION: Guideline developers should aim for unification in the formulation of recommendations to improve transferability.

BACKGROUND: The European Association for Endoscopic Surgery Bariatric Guidelines Group identified a gap in bariatric surgery recommendations with a structured, contextualized consideration of multiple bariatric interventions. OBJECTIVE: To provide evidence-informed, transparent and trustworthy recommendations on the use of sleeve gastrectomy, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, adjustable gastric banding, gastric plication, biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch, one anastomosis gastric bypass, and single anastomosis duodeno-ileal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy in patients with severe obesity and metabolic diseases. Only laparoscopic procedures in adults were considered. METHODS: A European interdisciplinary panel including general surgeons, obesity physicians, anesthetists, a psychologist and a patient representative informed outcome importance and minimal important differences. We conducted a systematic review and frequentist fixed and random-effects network meta-analysis of randomized-controlled trials (RCTs) using the graph theory approach for each outcome. We calculated the odds ratio or the (standardized) mean differences with 95% confidence intervals for binary and continuous outcomes, respectively. We assessed the certainty of evidence using the CINeMA and GRADE methodologies. We considered the risk/benefit outcomes within a GRADE evidence to decision framework to arrive at recommendations, which were validated through an anonymous Delphi process of the panel. RESULTS: We identified 43 records reporting on 24 RCTs. Most network information surrounded sleeve gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. Under consideration of the certainty of the evidence and evidence to decision parameters, we suggest sleeve gastrectomy or laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass over adjustable gastric banding, biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch and gastric plication for the management of severe obesity and associated metabolic diseases. One anastomosis gastric bypass and single anastomosis duodeno-ileal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy are suggested as alternatives, although evidence on benefits and harms, and specific selection criteria is limited compared to sleeve gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. The guideline, with recommendations, evidence summaries and decision aids in user friendly formats can also be accessed in MAGICapp: https://app.magicapp.org/#/guideline/Lpv2kE CONCLUSIONS: This rapid guideline provides evidence-informed, pertinent recommendations on the use of bariatric and metabolic surgery for the management of severe obesity and metabolic diseases. The guideline replaces relevant recommendations published in the EAES Bariatric Guidelines 2020.

INTRODUCTION: Perioperative care is a broad field covering an array of elective and emergency procedures. Clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) for perioperative care exist with various degrees of methodological quality. We intend to critically appraise them using AGREE II instrument and investigate the use of Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluations (GRADE). METHODS AND ANALYSIS: We searched MEDLINE (Ovid), Epistemonikos, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews and PROSPERO and did not identify any similar systematic review in this area. We will search databases, repositories and websites of guideline developers and medical societies, including MEDLINE (Ovid), Embase (Ovid), DynaMed, the GIN international guideline library and registry of guidelines in development, BIGG international database of GRADE guidelines, ECRI Guideline Trust or National Institute for Clinical Evidence to identify all CPGs for perioperative care in an adult population in a general clinical setting. We will include CPGs, expert guidance, position papers, guidance documents and consensus statements published in the last 5 years by experts or international organisations that provide guidance or recommendations in the available full text with no geographical or language limitation. Excluded will be those containing only good practice statements. Two independent reviewers will perform critical appraisal using the AGREE II tool. The data presented in a narrative and tabular form will include the results of the critical appraisal for all identified CPGs for all AGREE II domains and an assessment of the use of the GRADE approach. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: Ethics approval is not required. We will disseminate the findings through professional networks and conference presentations and will publish the results.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: This article explores the need for conceptual advances and practical guidance in the application of the GRADE approach within public health contexts. METHODS: We convened an expert workshop and conducted a scoping review to identify challenges experienced by GRADE users in public health contexts. We developed this concept article through thematic analysis and an iterative process of consultation and discussion conducted with members electronically and at three GRADE Working Group meetings. RESULTS: Five priority issues can pose challenges for public health guideline developers and systematic reviewers when applying GRADE: (1) incorporating the perspectives of diverse stakeholders; (2) selecting and prioritizing health and "nonhealth" outcomes; (3) interpreting outcomes and identifying a threshold for decision-making; (4) assessing certainty of evidence from diverse sources, including nonrandomized studies; and (5) addressing implications for decision makers, including concerns about conditional recommendations. We illustrate these challenges with examples from public health guidelines and systematic reviews, identifying gaps where conceptual advances may facilitate the consistent application or further development of the methodology and provide solutions. CONCLUSION: The GRADE Public Health Group will respond to these challenges with solutions that are coherent with existing guidance and can be consistently implemented across public health decision-making contexts.
