3) To respond to those questions unanswered by the <strong>CPG</strong>s, SRSE and assessment reports(AR) included or to update them, a search <strong>for</strong> randomised controlled trials (RCTs) wasper<strong>for</strong>med in Pubmed/Medline between March 2007 and October 2007.4) The search <strong>for</strong> <strong>CPG</strong>/SRSE/AR in Tripdatabase and Pubmed/Medline was also updatedup to October 2007.5) Additional searches were carried out in Pubmed/Medline and Scopus <strong>for</strong> primaryprevention of eating disorders due to the limited in<strong>for</strong>mation available in the documentsincluded (until June 2008). The effect of primary prevention interventions <strong>for</strong> eatingdisorders has been assessed in RCT or in SRSE of RCT.6) A search was also per<strong>for</strong>med <strong>for</strong> cohort studies and prognosis of eating disorders in theScopus and Psycinfo databases during the period spanning from 2000 to 2008.7) The Ginebrina Foundation was also consulted <strong>for</strong> Medical Training and Research and thedocuments provided by the working group and the references of the documentsincluded were reviewed.– Selection of Evidence. The most relevant documents were selected by applying predefinedinclusion and exclusion criteria:• Inclusion criteria: guides, SRSE and ARs in certain languages (Spanish, Catalan, French,English and Italian) that dealt with the previously mentioned objectives. Minimumquality criteria were established <strong>for</strong> the guides, SRSE and ARs: the bibliographic basesconsulted and/or the <strong>for</strong>mulation process of recommendations (ad hoc defined criteria)had to be described.• Exclusion criteria: documents/guides that were not original, unavailable (wrong referenceor electronic address), not directly related with the proposed objectives, already includedin the bibliography of other documents/guides or that didn’t comply with minimumquality criteria.Two independent reviewers examined the titles and/or summaries of the documents identified bythe search strategy. If any of the inclusion criteria were not fulfilled, the document wasexcluded. If criteria were fulfilled, the complete document was requested and evaluated in orderto decide whether it would be included or not. Discrepancies or doubts that arose during theprocess were resolved by consensus of the entire technical team.– Quality assessment of the scientific evidence. Assessment of <strong>CPG</strong> quality was per<strong>for</strong>med bya trained evaluator using the AGREE 45 instrument. Guides were considered of quality whenthey were classified as Recommended in the overall assessment. For SRSE/ARs and RCT,SIGN’s methodology checklists were applied by an evaluator, following the recommendationsestablished in the MSC’s 1 <strong>CPG</strong> development manual. Classification of evidence has beencarried out using the SIGN system (See Annex 1).CLINICAL PRACTICE GUIDELINE FOR EATING DISORDERS44
