Review[Methods of patient involvement in the development of guidelines - a systematic review].
Involving patients or patient-representatives in the development of guidelines is widely recommended. The expected benefits of patient involvement include an increase in the relevance and acceptability of the guidelines. So far there has been no systematic review of patient involvement in the development process of the German AMWF S3 and nursing guidelines and no description of the recommendations made by guideline-developing organisations and the scientific literature concerning the methods of patient involvement. ⋯ In the German AMWF and nursing guidelines, patient involvement is currently not an established standard. This could be improved by including mandatory rules for patient involvement in the manuals for guideline development. More research is needed on the effects of patient involvement on the content and applicability of guidelines.
