How do and could clinical guidelines support patient-centred care for women: Content analysis of guidelines.

ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVES:Patient-centred care (PCC) improves multiple patient and health system outcomes. However, many patients do not experience PCC, particularly women, who are faced with disparities in care and outcomes globally. The purpose of this study was to identify if and how guidelines address PCC for women (PCCW). METHODS:We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, National Guideline Clearing House, and guideline developer websites for publicly-available, English-language guidelines on depression and cardiac rehabilitation, conditions with known gendered inequities. We used summary statistics to report guideline characteristics, clinical topic, mention of PCC according to McCormack's framework, and mention of women's health considerations. We appraised guideline quality with the AGREE II instrument. RESULT
