한국인 샤르코-마리-투스병의 임상진료지침

Abstract

Background : The Korean Society of Neuromuscular Disorders developed the guideline for the diagnosis of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT). The guideline was intended to help readers select appropriate tests and practice systemized diagnostic approach in cases with suspected CMT in Korea.

Methods: We developed this guideline of CMT through the de novo process using an evidence- based approach. After systematic review of the literature, eight statements were selected using the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation (AGREE) II process.

Results : A total of 17 statements were proposed with the grading system and revised using the modified Delphi method. They were reviewed by external experts before receiving official endorsement from the Korean Society of Neuromuscular Disorders, and disseminated to doctors and other medical professionals for use in clinical practice in Korea.

Conclusions : The guideline for proper diagnosis in CMT is presented here. This guideline will continue to be updated and revised periodically.
