Objective  To systematically review the requirements of patient participation in clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) in Chinese and foreign guideline development manuals. Methods  Thirty-six authoritative society websites and guideline databases and 5 commonly used databases were searched online. Relevant information on patients’ participation in the guideline manuals was collected, summarized, and analyzed. Results  A total of 37 manuals (33 foreign and 4 Chinese) were included. The requirements for the number of patients, the right to speak, status equality, and the right to vote in the guideline development manual accounted for 35.1%, 13.5%, 8.1%, and 5.4%, respectively. The requirements for participants’ mode of participation were not mentioned in the guideline development manuals from 2000 to 2010. There were 6 (16.2%) in 2011–2015 and 12 (32.4%) in 2016–2022. The comprehensive guidelines for multiple disease types accounted for 35.7%, 28.6%, and 57.1%, respectively, in terms of requirements for participants’ knowledge or experience, management of specialized personnel, and training support. The specific guidelines for a certain type of disease or drug accounted for 21.7%, 4.3%, and 17.4%, respectively; fifteen (40.5%) guideline development manuals mentioned the specific collection forms of patients’ values and preferences in guideline development. Conclusion  Given changes to medical models and the emphasis on patients’ rights and interests, an increasing number of manuals have proposed requirements that consider the expression of patients’ values and preferences in manual development, and the dimensions of manual development are constantly enriched. However, manuals outlining the requirements of patient participation are still not comprehensive and can continue to improve.
