Evidence
How we made the decision
How we made the decision
Exceptionally, significant new evidence may mean an update of a guideline is agreed before the next scheduled check of the need for updating. The evidence might be a single piece of evidence, an accumulation of evidence or other published NICE guidance.
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.
Evidence
This surveillance report provides an overview of 2 national reports published since the end of the search period for the guideline (March 2016).
See appendix A: summary of evidence from surveillance for details of all evidence considered, and references.
Views of topic experts
We considered the views of topic experts, including those who helped to develop the guideline and other correspondence we have received since the publication of the guideline.
Comments on the exceptional review proposal were received from 3 topic experts. Of the responses, all 3 topic experts agreed with the decision to not update the guideline recommendations on follow-up after discharge from inpatient settings.
Views of stakeholders
Stakeholders are consulted only if we decide not to update the guideline following checks at 4 and 8 years after publication. Because this was an exceptional surveillance review, and the decision was not to update, we did not consult on the decision.
See ensuring that published guidelines are current and accurate in developing NICE guidelines: the manual for more details on our consultation processes.
