Guidelines for the diagnosis and management of asthma: a look at the key differences between BTS/SIGN and NICE
نویسندگان
چکیده
The British Thoracic Society first produced a guideline on asthma and its management in 1990. The first collaborative guideline with the Scottish Intercollegiate Guideline Network (SIGN) using evidence-based medicine methodology was published in 2003 (1). It has since become a mainstay of asthma management across the UK and beyond, with updates published regularly every 18 to 24 months. The latest BTS/SIGN guideline for the management of asthma was published in 2016 (2). Both BTS and SIGN are committed to continuing updates with the next update planned for publication in 2019.
