"Methodology for adaptation of the ASH Guidelines for Management of Venous Thromboembolism for the Latin American context. Blood Adv. "
"Background: From 2017 to 2020, the American Society of Hematology (ASH) collaborated with 12 hematology societies in Latin America to adapt the ASH guidelines on venous thromboembolism (VTE).
Objective: To describe the methods used to adapt the ASH guidelines on venous thromboembolism. Conclusions: By using the evidence from an international guideline, a significant amount of work and time were saved; by adding regional evidence, the final recommendations were tailored to the Latin American context. This experience offers an alternative to develop guidelines relevant to local contexts through a global collaboration."
