Abstract

Objective: To present an update clinical practice guideline that serve as a guide for the detection, evaluation and treatment of adults patients with advanced glaucoma. Methods: After defining the objectives and scope of the guide, the working group was formed and structured clinical questions were formulated following the PICO (Patient, Intervention, Comparison, Outcomes) format. Once all the existing clinical evidence had been independently evaluated with the AMSTAR-2 (Assessment of Multiple systematic Rewiews) and Cochrane «Risk of bias» tools by at least 2 reviewers, recommendations were formulated following the Scottish Intercollegiate methodology Guideline Network (SIGN). Results: Recommendations with their corresponding levels of evidence that may be useful in the diagnosis, monitoring and treatment of adults patients with advanced glaucoma. Conclusions: Despite the fact that for many of the questions the level of scientific evidence available is not very high, this clinical practice guideline offers an updated review of the different existing aspects related to the evaluation and management of advanced glaucoma. © 2022 Sociedad Española de OftalmologíaObjetivo: Realización de una guía de práctica clínica actualizada que sirva de orientación para la detección, el manejo y el tratamiento de pacientes con glaucoma avanzado en la edad adulta. Métodos: Tras la definición de los objetivos y alcance de la guía se constituyó el grupo de trabajo que formuló las preguntas clínicas estructuradas siguiendo el formato PICO (Patient, Intervention, Comparison, Outcomes). Se realizó una revisión de la literatura publicada hasta el momento, incluyendo guías de práctica clínica internacionales, utilizándose las herramientas AMSTAR-2 (Assessment of Multiple systematic Rewiews) y «Risk of Bias» de Cochrane para la evaluación de la calidad de la información de forma independiente por, al menos, 2 revisores. El nivel de evidencia y la elaboración del grado de recomendación se establecieron siguiendo la metodología del Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network (SIGN). Resultados: Se presentan recomendaciones con sus correspondientes niveles de evidencia que pueden ser de utilidad para la detección, el seguimiento y el tratamiento de pacientes con glaucoma avanzado en la edad adulta. Conclusiones: A pesar de que la evidencia científica existente es escasa y el nivel de evidencia para muchas de las preguntas planteadas no es muy alto, esta guía de práctica clínica ofrece una revisión actualizada de las recomendaciones existentes para el manejo del glaucoma avanzado en el adulto. © 2022 Sociedad Española de Oftalmología
