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.
