    Background: COVID-19-related critical illness is associated with an increased risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE). Objective: These evidence-based guidelines of the American Society of Hematology (ASH) are intended to support patients, clinicians, and other health care professionals in making decisions about the use of anticoagulation for thromboprophylaxis in patients with COVID-19-related critical illness who do not have confirmed or suspected VTE.

    Development and application of health outcome descriptors facilitated decision-making in the production of practice guidelines
    (2021) Wiercioch, Wojtek; Nieuwlaat, Robby; Dahm, Philipp; Iorio, Alfonso; Mustafa, Reem A.; Neumann, Ignacio; Rochwerg, Bram; Manja, Veena; Alonso-Coello, Pablo; Ortel, Thomas L.; Santesso, Nancy; Vesely, Sara K.; Akl, Elie A.; Schuenemann, Holger J.; Zakai, Neil; Cuker, Adam; Lim, Wendy; Monagle, Paul; Kunkle, Robert; Witt, Daniel M.; Kahn, Susan R.; McLintock, Claire; Rezende, Suely M.; Zakai, Neil A.
    Objective: Stakeholders involved in developing recommendations need to have a common understanding of health outcomes and the perspective of affected individuals. In this paper we report on the development and application of health outcome descriptors (HODs) to inform decision-making by panels developing guideline recommendations.

    How to write a guideline: a proposal for a manuscript template that supports the creation of trustworthy guidelines
    (2021) Nieuwlaat, Robby; Wiercioch, Wojtek; Brozek, Jan L.; Santesso, Nancy; Kunkle, Robert; Alonso-Coello, Pablo; Anderson, David R.; Bates, Shannon M.; Dahm, Philipp; Iorio, Alfonso; Lim, Wendy; Lyman, Gary H.; Middeldorp, Saskia; Monagle, Paul; Mustafa, Reem A.; Neumann, Ignacio; Ortel, Thomas L.; Rochwerg, Bram; Vesely, Sara K.; Witt, Daniel M.; Cuker, Adam; Schunemann, Holger J.
    Trustworthy health guidelines should provide recommendations, document the development process, and highlight implementation information. Our objective was to develop a guideline manuscript template to help authors write a complete and useful report. The McMaster Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation Centre collaborated with the American Society of Hematology (ASH) to develop guidelines for the management of venous thromboembolism. A template for reporting the guidelines was developed based on prior approaches and refined using input from other key stakeholders. The proposed guideline manuscript template includes: (1) title for guideline identification, (2) abstract, including a summary of key recommendations, (3) overview of all recommendations (executive summary), and (4) the main text, providing sufficient detail about the entire process, including objectives, background, and methodological decisions from panel selection and conflict-of-interest management to criteria for updating, as well as supporting information, such as links to online (interactive) tables. The template further allows for tailoring to the specific topic, using examples. Initial experience with the ASH guideline manuscript template was positive, and challenges included drafting descriptions of recommendations involving multiple management pathways, tailoring the template for a specific guideline, and choosing key recommendations to highlight. Feedback from a larger group of guideline authors and users will be needed to evaluate its usefulness and refine. The proposed guideline manuscript template is the first detailed template for transparent and complete reporting of guidelines. Consistent application of the template may simplify the preparation of an evidence-based guideline manuscript and facilitate its use.

    (2020) Wiercioch, Wojtek; Nieuwlaat, Robby; Akl, Elie A.; Kunkle, Robert; Alexander, Kendall E.; Cuker, Adam; Rajasekhar, Anita; Alonso-Coello, Pablo; Anderson, David R.; Bates, Shannon M.; Cushman, Mary; Dahm, Philipp; Guyatt, Gordon; Iorio, Alfonso; Lim, Wendy; Lyman, Gary H.; Middeldorp, Saskia; Monagle, Paul; Mustafa, Reem A.; Neumann, Ignacio; Ortel, Thomas L.; Rochwerg, Bram; Santesso, Nancy; Vesely, Sara K.; Witt, Daniel M.; Schunemann, Holger J.
    Background: Methods for the development of clinical guidelines have advanced dramatically over the past 2 decades to strive for trustworthiness, transparency, user-friendliness, and rigor. The American Society of Hematology (ASH) guidelines on venous thromboembolism (VTE) have followed these advances, together with application of methodological innovations.
