Abstract
[Background and purpose] The first domestic edition of "Evidence based clinical practice guidelines for the management of acute pancreatitis" was published in July 2003. And then, we published an English version of the guidelines (JPN guidelines for the management of acute pancreatitis) in February 2006. We will receive global assessments about the JPN guidelines from abroad and are planning further revisions of the contents in the future. [Making JPN guidelines] The chairperson of the JPN guidelines is professor Tadahiro Takada (Teikyo University), and the guidelines have been reviewed as follows. (1) January, 2005: Re-examination working groups discussed the contents of the Japanese edition, notations and recommendations. (2) March 2005: We reviewed the contents, revised them and made new clinical questions. (3) May 2005: English translation. The contents were described in nine papers published in the Journal of Hepato-Bilialy-Pancreatic Surgery. (4) August 2005: Contents of International Edition, notations, recommended methods were reviewed. (5) February 2006: JPN guidelines were published in the Journal of Hepato-Bilialy-Pancreatic Surgery. [Prospective effects] Studies on HPB lesions were the first to be publish in the International edition of the guidelines in Japan. We performed this study with the support of a grant from a science research program of Health Labor and Welfare, Japan. The JPN guidelines will be compared with various international guidelines towards obtaining further improvements in clinical medical care.
