Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs) are systematically developed statements that can help clinicians decide on the best care for their patients. It must be emphasized that CPGs should never substitute for the clinician's knowledge of patient specific presentations, diagnoses, and treatment. CPGs must be created and evaluated in a rigorous, transparent manner to earn the confidence of the profession and the public.
