Feasibility of national living guideline methods: the Australian Stroke Guidelines

Key findingsIt is feasible to produce living evidence-based guidelines covering a wide range of topics related to management of stroke or transient ischaemic attack.What this adds to what is knownLiving evidence synthesis methods are becoming more common particularly in response to the COIVD-19 crisis. However, whether these methods can be applied to a large national guideline was unclear. This work shows that it is possible to develop rigorous living guidelines and update them by considering all major randomised trials and systematic reviews each month.
