How we made the decision
How we made the decision
We check our guidelines regularly to ensure they remain up to date. We based the decision on surveillance 4 years after the publication of stable angina: management (2011) NICE guideline CG126.
For details of the process and update decisions that are available, see ensuring that published guidelines are current and accurate in 'Developing NICE guidelines: the manual'.
Previous surveillance update decisions for the guideline are on our website.
New evidence
We found 29 new studies in a search for systematic reviews and randomised controlled trials published between 10 May 2012 and 26 August 2015. We also considered 4 additional studies identified by members of the Guideline Committee and 2 further studies identified through stakeholder consultation.
Evidence identified in previous surveillance 2 years after publication of the guideline was also considered. This included 9 studies identified by search during the Evidence Update (2012).
From all sources, 44 studies were considered to be relevant to the guideline.
We also checked for relevant ongoing research, which will be evaluated again at the next surveillance review of the guideline.
See appendix A: decision matrix for summaries and references for all new evidence considered.
