Zusammenfassung

Die Leitlinie akualisiert eine frühere Konsensusempfehlung der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Verdauungs- und Stoffwechselkrankheiten (DGVS) aus dem Jahr 1996. Sie wurde interdisziplinär in Zusammenarbeit mit Vertretern der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Hygiene und Mikrobiologie, der Gesellschaft für Pädiatrische Gastroenterologie und Ernährung e. V. und der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Rheumatologie erstellt. Die Leitlinie basiert auf den Empfehlungen der Arbeitsgemeinschaft der Wissenschaftlichen Medizinischen Fachgesellschaften (AWMF) für eine systematische evidenzbasierte Konsensus-Leitlinie der Entwicklungsstufe S 3 und hat auch die Bewertungskriterien der GRADE (Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation) implemetiert. Die Anwendbarkeit der Studienergebnisse und spezifische Gegebenheiten in Deutschland im Hinblick auf Epidemiologie, Resistenzlage, Diagnostik und Therapie wurden berücksichtigt.

Abstract

This guideline updates a prior consensus recommendation of the German Society for Digestive and Metabolic Diseases (DGVS) from 1996. It was developed by an interdisciplinary cooperation with representatives of the German Society for Hygiene and Microbiology, the Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition (GPGE), and the German Society for Rheumatology. The guideline is methodologically based on recommendations of the Association of the Scientific Medical Societies in Germany (AWMF) for providing a systematic evidence-based S 3 level consensus guideline and has also implemented grading criteria according to the GRADE (Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation) process. Clinical applicability of study results as well as specifics for Germany in terms of epidemiology, antibiotic resistance status, diagnostics, and therapy were taken into account.
