Objective Chinese practice guideline for therapeutic drug monitoring of vancomycin is the first therapeutic drug monitoring guideline in the framework of GRADE in China. The guideline panels met a recommendation consensus in December 21th, 2014 and finalized 14 recommendations. The aim of the current study was to assess the property of recommendations and revise them. Methods We commissioned an external review of recommendations by questionnaire. Physicians, clinical pharmacists and nurses above or equal to intermediate certificate were investigated for appreciations, clarity and feasibility of 14 recommendations as well as other suggestions about guideline. The guideline panels discussed the results and revised recommendations based on the result of external review. Results A total of 40 physicians, clinical pharmacist and nurses from 11 departments of 4 hospitals participated in the external review. The overall appreciation degree of recommendations was 70%, the overall clarity degree of recommendations was 88%, and the overall feasibility degree of recommendations was 70%. Among them, appreciation degree of 4 recommendations and feasibility degree of 5 recommendations were fewer than 50%. 165 subjective suggestions were received. After review of the results, the guideline panels reserved 6 recommendations while revised 8 (Deleted 4, combined 2 and improved 2). Conclusion Our external review is an exploration and attempt in the region of development of Chinese evidence-based practice guideline. More interest-related individuals are involved in the development of guideline. Clarity and feasibility of recommendations are ensured.
