Overall assessment
Table 2 displays the total score for each domain, and the overall quality of the guidelines. None of the guidelines were above 70%. The SAPPG scored lowest (27.78%), and thus not recommended by the reviewers. The RCOG (UK) guideline achieved the highest overall score (67.67%) and the RCPI guideline scored 50%. Both these guidelines were recommended for use, with modifications. The intraclass correlation was very good, as it was above 0.98 for each CPG reviewed, as values greater than 0.90 were obtained, indicating excellent reliability14.
