Objective To investigate the citation status of systematic reviews on imaging diagnosis in clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) and provide reference for the development of Chinese imaging diagnosis guidelines. Methods We electronically searched PubMed databases to collect systematic reviews on imaging diagnosis. The date was limited from January 1st 2010 to December 31th 2012. Two reviewers independently screened literature and extracted data. The citation data of included systematic reviews were obtained on the Web of Science. Citation analysis method was used to analyze the citation frequency of systematic reviews on imaging diagnosis in CPGs. Results 292 systematic reviews on imaging diagnosis were included, of which 94% (275/292) were indexed by Science Citation Index. The total citation frequency of these systematic reviews was 5413 (medium:20, range:0 to 131). 28% (78/275) were cited by CPGs. Of which, 7% (19/275) were used as the source of the evidence of recommendations in CPGs. Conclusion The ratio of systematic reviews cited by CPGs is low, the ratio of being the source of evidence of recommendations of systematic reviews in CPGs is lower, and furthermore, the citation is time-delayed.
