Objectives To evaluate the quality of evidence-based guidelines for the treatment of female stress urinary incontinence, so as to provide evidence for clinical stress urinary incontinence management research.Methods Website of the professional society, clinical practice guide website, Yimaitong website, PubMed, CNKI, WanFang Data and VIP databases were electronically searched to collect stress urinary incontinence management related guidelines from January 1st, 2014 to January 1st, 2019. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and evaluated the quality of included guidelines using Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation (AGREE Ⅱ) and the characteristics of each guidelines were analyzed.Results We identified totally 8 relevant evidence-based guidelines in this field. The average standardized scores in the 6 domains of AGREE II were 90.74% (scope and purpose), 78.71% (stakeholder involvement), 74.60% (rigor of development), 93.52% (clarity of presentations), 61.81% (applicability), and 91.67% (independence). The overall standardized scores of 8 guidelines were 77.70%, and the total scores were 5.31 (out of 7). For overall quality, 4 of them were grade A and 4 of them were grade B.Conclusions The overall quality of evidence-based guidelines for stress urinary incontinence is high, and scores in different fields are vary large. Fields of " stakeholder involvement”, " rigor of development” and " applicability” with lower scores still requires strengthening. The current guidelines for female stress urinary incontinence in China still fails to meet the standards of evidence-based guidelines, so the quality of the guidelines should be improved to improve guide clinical practice.
