The Japanese Pediatric Guideline for The Treatment and Management of Asthma (JPGL) has been created based on the policy of Medical Information Network Distribution Service (Minds) since the previous version (JPGL2017). The latest version, JPGL2020, consists of 14 chapters with 12 clinical questions (CQ). In Chapter 1, we described the process of how to revise the guideline and how to decide recommendation for each CQ. A systematic review was conducted for each CQ by referring to the relevant Cochrane review and searching literature from several medical databases including the Japan Medical Abstract Society. Information obtained from the extracted literature was reviewed in an integrated manner, and the body of evidence was evaluated along with biases. JPGL2020 shows recommendation for each CQ which was decided with an anonymous vote by the guideline committee members along with the voting result and commentary.
