“…However, there remain important areas requiring improvement: this review highlights the challenges faced by guideline assessors in consistently and objectively awarding AGREE domain scores and overall assessments [41]. The current process does not provide clear enough quality thresholds or make explicit the scope of information required to make an overall assessment at the end of a guideline appraisal exercise [21,41] and is thus potentially too subjective.…”

“…Evaluation of their acceptance by stakeholders such as preventive occupational health services, workers, managers and governments and the need to incorporate needed improvements should be undertaken. As noted in a study comparing diabetes guidelines from various European countries 14) , one approach would be for representatives from a range of countries to develop a set of European guidelines that could be available in various languages, keeping in mind the need for guidelines that are appropriate to the setting where they are to be implemented (for example, see the guideline development process at SIGN) 37) , including differences in national legislation related to work-related health services and health care providers, among others.…”

“…To our knowledge, previous studies have not compared and evaluated guidelines used in Europe for visual health surveillance, although this has happened with other health problems such as psoriasis 12) , pressure ulcers 13) or diabetes 14) . Therefore, a review seems timely.…”

Inconsistencies in Guidelines for Visual Health Surveillance of VDT Workers: María del Mar SEGUÍ, et al. Optic, Pharmacology and Anatomy Department, Public Health Research Group, University of Alicante, Spain— Objectives In Europe, 25% of workers use video display terminals (VDTs). Occupational health surveillance has been considered a key element in the protection of these workers. Nevertheless, it is unclear if guidelines available for this purpose, based on EU standards and available evidence, meet currently Accepted quality criteria. The aim of this study was to appraise three sets of European VDT guidelines (UK, France, Spain) in which regulatory and evidence based approaches for visual health have been formulated and recommendations for practice made. Methods Three independent appraisers used an adapted AGREE instrument with seven domains to appraise the guidelines. A modified nominal group technique approach was used in two consecutive phases: first, individual evaluation of the three guidelines simultaneously, and second, a face‐to‐face meeting of appraisers to discuss scoring. Analysis of ratings obtained in each domain and variability among appraisers was undertaken (correlation and kappa coefficients). Results All guidelines had low domain scores. The domain evaluated most highly was Scope and purpose, while Applicability was scored minimally. The UK guidelines had the highest overall score, and the Spanish ones had the lowest. The analysis of reliability and differences between scores in each domain showed a high level of agreement. Conclusions These results suggest current guidelines used in these countries need an update. The formulation of evidence‐base European guidelines on VDT could help to reduce the significant variation of national guidelines, which may have an impact on practical application.
