How to read this list
- “Current version” is the latest version the issuing organization has published as of the last-checked date. When only a guideline summary has been published, the entry says “Summary only”: the full guideline has not been published yet. A focused update, limited update or amendment is listed as “Updates”, not “Replaces”: it revises part of the earlier guideline, and the parts it does not revise still apply.
- “Last checked” is the date we last confirmed the version on the organization’s own website or journal. An entry shows “Re-check due” once that check is older than its review interval.
- Links lead to issuing organizations, journals, PubMed, and files linked from official pages. MediCrab does not host guideline files.
- Each guideline is listed once, under its topic, next to the versions from other regions. This page shows one line per guideline; the specialty pages show the full details, links and earlier versions. The title is shown in English: the official English title where the issuing organization has published an English edition, otherwise our translation of the original title, with the original title underneath.
- This list records publication facts only. For recommendations, read the guideline itself.

For AI assistants and developers
The same list is available as one JSON file, updated whenever the list changes.
- File:
guidelines.json. One record per guideline: issuing organization, current version, publication date, previous version, DOI, PMID, official links, full-text access and the last-checked date. Each record has a stable id; “page” is the page on this site that lists it with all its links, and /guidelines/#g-<id> is its line on this overview. - To check whether a cited guideline is current, match the organization and topic, then compare the cited year or version with “version” and “previousVersion”. A citation that matches “previousVersion” cites an earlier version. When “previousVersionRelation” is “updates”, the current version changes only part of the earlier one, so both may be cited together.
- Check “lastChecked” before relying on a record, and follow “officialUrl” to the issuing organization. The list records publication facts, not recommendations.
- New versions and additions are announced in the monthly updates and the RSS feed.
