Participation and consultation engagement strategies have complementary roles: a case study of patient and public involvement in clinical practice guideline development.
guideline question development. Using a clinical practice guideline in development by the American Academy of Neurology, they found that participation and consultation PPI strategies have different advantages. Congruence between strategies increases the strength of the patient voice. They recommended that guideline developers prioritize using both strategies for successful PPI.

Explanation and elaboration of the Standards for UNiversal reporting of patient Decision Aid Evaluations (SUNDAE) guidelines: examples of reporting SUNDAE items from patient decision aid evaluation literature.
This Explanation and Elaboration article expands on the 26 items in the SUNDAE guidelines, providing a rationale for each item, and including examples for how each item has been reported in published papers evaluating patient decision aids. Authors and reviewers may wish to use it broadly to inform structuring of patient decision aid evaluation reports, or use it as a reference to obtain details about how to report individual checklist items.

Impact of patient involvement on clinical practice guideline development: a parallel group study.
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of patient and public involvement (PPI) on guideline question formation and validate a conceptual model of patient and public contributions to guidelines. The qualitative analysis of the discussions occurring during guideline question development demonstrated key differences in group conduct and validated the proposed conceptual model of patient and public contributions to guidelines.

Approach to assessing and using clinical practice guidelines.
Knowing when to use guidelines in clinical practice requires neurologists to assess the rigor of published guidelines. This review briefly describes guideline definitions and the American Academy of Neurology process for guideline development, outlines key elements for assessing guideline quality, and details a practical approach for incorporating guideline recommendations when partnering with patients in shared decision-making.

Recommendations for patient engagement in guideline development panels: a qualitative focus group study of guideline-naive patients.
This study investigated the perspectives of potential patient/consumer guideline representatives on topics pertaining to engagement including guideline development, group composition and barriers to and facilitators of engagement. It found that participants recommended small, diverse guideline development groups engaging multiple patient/consumer stakeholders with no prior relationships with each other or professional panel members.

Framework for enhancing clinical practice guidelines through continuous patient engagement.
The authors propose a ten-step framework outlining steps and options for patient engagement in guideline development with the goal of highlighting steps for patient engagement and methods by which this can be achieved. This framework can serve as a resource for guideline developers desiring to increase patient engagement and reference for researchers investigating engagement methodology at different steps of the clinical practice guideline lifecycle.

Patient-activation and guideline-concordant pharmacological treatment after bone density testing: the PAADRN randomized controlled trial.
In a clinical trial of 7749 patients, the researchers tested whether usual care augmented by a tailored patient-activation DXA result letter accompanied by an educational brochure would improve guideline-concordant pharmacological treatment compared to usual care only. They found that treatment rates did not improve.
