Evidence Evaluation Process and Management of Potential Conflicts of Interest: 2020 International Consensus on Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care Science With Treatment Recommendations☆
Section snippets
Evidence Evaluation Process
The most important product of the ILCOR evidence evaluation process is the summary of the evidence identified (consensus on science) and the accompanying treatment recommendations. ILCOR is committed to transparency in presenting consensus descriptions and summaries of the evidence, and the creation of treatment recommendations whenever consensus can be achieved. The processes to evaluate the information available has evolved substantially over the past 2 decades, as has ILCOR’s approach to
Management of Potential Conflicts of Interest Throughout The Process
To ensure the integrity of the evidence evaluation and the process of consensus on science development, ILCOR followed its rigorous COI management policies at all times. A full description of these policies and their implementation can be found in Part 4 of the 2010 CoSTR.64, 65 Any person involved in any part of the process disclosed all commercial relationships and other potential conflicts by using the standard AHA online COI disclosure process.
