1 Evidencebased guidelines for diagnosis of common bile duct stones Vanja Giljaca University Hospital Center Rijeka Department of Gastroenterology Trusted evidence. Informed decisions. Better health.

2 Outline 01 What are CPGs and how they are made. 02 Specifics of diagnostic CPGs. 03 Common bile duct stones overview. 04 Current recommendations for CBDs diagnosis. 05 Cochrane diagnostic test accuracy systematic review for diagnosis of CBDs. 06 What next?

3 Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs) Statements that include recommendations intended to optimize patient care that are informed by a systematic review of evidence and an assessment of the benefits and harms of alternative care options. Committee on Standards for Developing Trustworthy CPGs, Institute of Medicine, 2011

4 When did guidelines first appear?

5 Ancient Medicine, Israel Ayurveda Razi Book of Medicine, Iran Asclepius, Greece

7 The EVIDENCE difference?

8 Systematic reviews Randomised controlled studies Cohort studies Case reports Expert opinion Sackett DL, Straus SE, Richardson WS, i sur. Evidencebased medicine: how to practice and teach EBM. 2nd ed., Churchill Livingstone, 2000.

9 Do we need CPGs?

10 PubMed ((((common bile duct stones) OR choledocholithiasis) OR CBD stones) AND diagnostic accuracy) OR diagnostic test accuracy; citations Publication date from 2014/01/01 to 2014/12/ citations

11 Clinical Expertise Patient Concerns/Welfare Best research evidence

12 Clinical Expertise Patient Concerns/Welfare Best research evidence

13 Who can use CPGs? Physicians/Nurses Patients Families Decision makers Public EFFECTIVE HEALTHCARE SAVES LIVES......AND MONEY

14 OUTCOMES POSITIVE INCONCLUSIVE NEGATIVE CPGs for diagnostic tests Suspicion Condition 1 DIAGNOSTIC TEST ACCURACY Diagnosis Intervention Condition 2 Condition 3 Test 1 Test 2 Condition 1 Drug Condition 4 Condition 5 Test 3 Test 4 Condition 6 Surgery Condition 6

15 Sensitivity = TP / TPFN Specificity = TN / TNFP TPtrue positive; FPfalse positive; FNfalse negative; TNtrue negative

16 Or air? Stone or Tumor??? Or bowel wall? Or diverticulum? Or sludge? Or nothing?
