What are the categories for the recommendations included in the 2020 version of the guideline?
The categories for the recommendations included in the 2020 version of the guideline are Not reviewed, Not changed, Amended, and Deleted. Not reviewed, Not changed recommendations refer to recommendations from the previous version of the Dyslipidemia CPG that were carried forward unchanged to the updated version. The category of Not reviewed, Amended was used to designate recommendations that were modified from the 2014 VA/DoD Dyslipidemia CPG. Recommendations could also have been categorized as Not reviewed, Deleted if they were determined to be out of scope. A recommendation was out of scope if it pertained to a topic (e.g., population, care setting, treatment, and condition) outside of the scope for the updated CPG as defined by the Work Group.
