Abstract
Clinical practice guidelines (CPG) provide evidence-based recommendations to optimize patient care. Their development should be rigorous and include defining the scope, conducting systematic reviews, evaluating the quality of the evidence and formulating recommendations that are linked to the evidence. When peer reviewed evidence is insufficient to inform CPGs, consensus-based recommendations (CBR) are an alternative. Both CPG and CBR are essential to inform best practices and inform health policy. This review highlights recent epilepsy CPG and CBR about genetic testing, neonatal seizures, pediatric depression, epilepsy surgery referral timing and addresses their impact on outcomes.
