In general terms, it is proposed that the use of clinical practice guidelines should be a national reference to favour clinical and managerial decision-making based on recommendations supported by the best available evidence, aiming to reduce the variability of clinical practice, as well as the use of unnecessary or ineffective interventions, to facilitate the treatment of patients with the maximum benefit, with a lower risk and an acceptable cost (CENETEC, 2016).
