Context-Informed Clinical Practice Guidelines for Fever With Neutropenia Management Among Sub-Saharan African Children With Cancer: A GRADE-Based Approach
This FN guideline developed by a multidisciplinary team incorporates regional considerations in treatment of FN and can serve as a tool for policymaking. The performance of guideline recommendations and associated outcomes should be monitored to improve FN outcomes in the region. The CPG development also highlights the need for more research efforts on the continent to generate evidence tailored to the local context.
