The status and quality of prehospital clinical guidance in sub-Saharan Africa: A scoping review 2020-09-28 .txt text/plain 4952 271 44 These guidance documents include, but are not limited to, clinical practice guidelines (CPGs), protocols and algorithms that are contextually appropriate for SSA. METHODS: We conducted a scoping review of prehospital-relevant guidance documents, including CPGs, algorithms, protocols and position statements originating from SSA. Conversely, most of the guidance documents lack an appropriate evidence foundation and fail to transparently report the guidance development process, highlighting the need to strengthen and build guideline development capacity to promote the transition from eminence-based to evidence-based guidance for prehospital care in SSA. This potential lack of available upto-date high-quality prehospital guidance is not just a major concern for clinicians, but for guideline developers as well. We included any prehospital-relevant guidance documents (considering the broadest definition, e.g. protocols, patient care pathways, standard operating procedures) published either in English or French since 2005, and published in countries within SSA as stipulated by the United Nations (UN) [23] , listed in Appendix 1. ./cache/cord-275487-87763q62.txt ./txt/cord-275487-87763q62.txt
