Abstract
Central Message: A comprehensive pathway for creating multidisciplinary CPGs: encompassing research formulation and synthesis, development of evidence-based recommendations, rigorous validation, publication, and continuous updates to maintain relevance, accuracy, and trustworthiness. // Perspective: Governing bodies of the AATS, EACTS, ESTS, and STS chose a writing panel based on expertise in the development of clinical practice documents to establish uniform methodology for joint societies' projects. This document integrates existing independent methodologies into a singular collaborative methodology, further enriched by adopting the basic standards for development proposed by key stakeholders.
