How does the AAOS combat bias in its guidelines?
All of the AAOS’ guidelines are prepared using systematic, well-defined processes that make it possible for readers to scrutinize every aspect of the decision-making that went into an AAOS clinical practice guideline. In addition, clinical physician experts and methodologists jointly construct the guideline and evaluate the evidence. AAOS guidelines strive to be unbiased, transparent, and reproducible.
