ACOEM guideline analysis.

چکیده
The recent series of 3 articles published in Pain Physician regarding the ACOEM guidelines represented a significant new approach to evidence analysis and guideline synthesis by the addition of guideline criticism (1-3). The manner in which the articles were written attempt to objectively and strictly apply the methods of analysis and synthesis as proposed by prominent agencies and medical societies, and to also apply strictly ACOEM’s own method with the addition of overlooked literature. The results of such analysis are shocking.
