Aim:
This study aimed to systematically review Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs) for nutritional management of dementia and use evidence mapping to highlight research trends and identify gaps to inform future research.
Design:
A systematic review of guidelines using the PRISMA statement.
Methods:
Systematically collect literature on dementia management CPGs from PubMed, Embase, Web of Science and guideline databases. Extract basic information, recommendations, methodological quality and reporting quality of the CPGs. Four researchers independently evaluated eligible CPGs using the AGREE II instrument and the RIGHT checklist. All recommendations from the CPGs were summarised and analysed, and evidence mapping bubble charts were created in Excel.
Results:
After excluding 5541 records, 10 CPGs were eventually proved eligible, 5 of which were of high quality and 5 of high quality. With 10 CPGs that combined 18 recommendations. The nutrition screening and assessment were summarised on the basis of the dementia recommendations for 4 major items, 7 items on nutritional interventions, 5 items on caring and 2 on education.
Conclusion:
This review provides an evidence map and offers new perspectives on CPGs for nutritional management in dementia. However, there are improvements to the included CPGs, but most CPGs have a number of key recommendations that can help guide clinical practice.
Relevance To Clinical Practice:
The currently available guidelines on dementia nutritional management have room for methodological improvement.

01:26Guidelines for Nursing Documentation II
Timely documentation is crucial to ensure continuity of care for patients. Any delays in recording or reporting medical information can result in medical errors and even adverse patient outcomes. From medication administration to diagnostic test results, every detail must be accurately and promptly documented to provide the best possible care for patients.
