AGREE II (Appraisal of Guidelines for Research &Evaluation)

AGREE II, or the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation, is a tool designed to help assess the quality of healthcare guidelines. It provides a systematic way to evaluate how well guidelines are developed based on criteria like clarity, stakeholder involvement, and evidence use. By using AGREE II, healthcare professionals and researchers can judge whether a set of guidelines is reliable and useful for making informed health decisions, ultimately improving patient care and outcomes. This ensures that recommendations are based on solid evidence and transparent processes.
