ObjectivesTo evaluate the reporting quality of clinical practice guidelines published in Chinese journals in 2015.MethodsCBM, CNKI, VIP and WanFang Data databases were searched to collect clinical practice guidelines published in Chinese journals from January, 2015 to December, 2015. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data, and the reporting quality of clinical practice guidelines were evaluated by the Reporting Items for Practice Guidelines in Healthcare (RIGHT). Excel software was used for data analysis.ResultsA total of 74 clinical practice guidelines were included. It was found that among the seven domains of RIGHT, the reporting quality of basic information and background domains were acceptable. There were fewer problems in the domain of evidence and recommendation. There were many deficiencies in three domains, such as review and quality assurance, funding and the declaration/management of interests and other information.ConclusionsThe reporting quality of clinical practice guidelines published in Chinese journals in 2015 is low, and the full reporting rate of clinical practice guidelines need to be improved. It is suggested that guideline developers construct strict guidelines for the development and report the guidelines with international standard, thus improving the quality of the clinical practice guidelines.
