Abstract: Female sexual dysfunction (FSD) is a prevalent concern among Canadian women. While clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) are commonly relied upon to guide evidence-based decision making, the availability and quality of published Canadian CPGs for FSD is unknown. More broadly, there is also a paucity of literature, which has evaluated documents guiding Canadian CPG development. A search was conducted to identify Canadian documents describing CPG development processes. Eligible documents underwent full-text review to extract content pertaining to scope and target audience. A separate search was conducted to identify Canadian CPGs specific to FSD. Eligible documents underwent quality appraisal using the validated Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation (AGREE) II instrument. Four documents outlining CPG development processes were identified. While there were similarities in the steps for CPG development, discrepancies in scope, target user, and affiliated development group across the Canadian methodologies were noted. One Canadian CPG specific to FSD was identified. This CPG scored highly in the domains of Scope and Purpose (79%), and Clarity of Presentation (86%), although it did not reach the same quality threshold for the remaining domains. Our results suggest the need for consistent guidelines that are implementable by Canadian CPG developers across the diverse clinical landscape, including women's sexual health. This is the first study to evaluate the quality of CPGs for FSD using the AGREE II instrument. Our appraisal identifies areas of weakness that should be considered when updating this CPG in the future and in the development of new CPGs in this field. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
