AGREE II

AGREE II (Appraisal of Guidelines for Research & Evaluation II) is a tool used to assess the quality and reliability of clinical practice guidelines. It helps ensure that guidelines are based on the best available evidence, are clear, well-structured, and consider patient values. The tool evaluates six key areas: scope and purpose, stakeholder involvement, rigor of development, clarity, applicability, and editorial independence. Healthcare professionals and organizations use AGREE II to identify trustworthy guidelines that can inform safe and effective patient care, promoting consistency and high standards across medical recommendations.
