Discrepancies Between Recommendations in Evidence-Based Guidelines for the Management of Obesity in Adolescents and Adults: An Evidence Map.

ABSTRACT:

Background/aim

The aim of this evidence map is to provide a systematic overview of evidence-based guidelines for the management of obesity and to highlight discrepancies between recommendations for the pediatric and adult populations. Knowing about these discrepancies may be relevant during the transition from pediatrics to adult healthcare to enable a structured, successful transfer.

Methods

We used two already existing guideline synopses of the Institute for Quality and Efficiency in Health Care as a basis and additionally searched Embase and Medline as well as guideline portals for creating a systematic overview of evidence-based pediatric and adult guidelines on obesity management. The quality of the identified guidelines was assessed using AGREE II.
