Abstract

The Spanish Society of Rheumatology (SER) brings together the majority of Spain's rheumatologists and, among the many services it offers its members, has a Research Unit (RU). This unit provides methodological support to SER members in clinical and epidemiological research, coordinates and carries out research projects, designs and maintains large patient databases, develops qualitative research projects and produces evidence-based medicine (EBM) documents. Through this last activity, the RU of the SER produces clinical practice guidelines and recommendation documents on topics relevant to rheumatology that meet the most demanding methodological standards. The aim of this article is to describe the management process and methodology followed by the UI of the SER to identify the topics of its EBM documents and how it executes and develops its guidelines and recommendations.
