1. Historia y metodología de las primeras guías chilenas de fibrosis pulmonar idiopática 2019

Abstract

Since 2017, the members of the Commission of Diffuse Interstitial Lung Diseases of the Chilean Society of Respiratory Diseases have worked in the development of the first guidelines of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) in the country, an obvious need to encourage early and adequate diagnosis of the disease and establish a basis for possible incorporation of IPF patients care into special health insurance coverage. Five evidence review questions were prepared and the remainder were worked out in context question format. A group of methodologists graduated the evidence following the GRADE methodology.
