extracted the basic data

and RIGHT evaluation scale was used to evaluate the quality.Results: A total of 6 disease guidelines and expert consensus for children with tic disorders were included. Among the items of RIGHTevaluation

the items with the highest reporting rates were respectively 1a

1b

1c

4

6

7a and 7b (100%)

the items with the lowestreporting rates were respectively 14a

14b and 18b (0)

and the reporting rates of 19 items were >50%. The highest score of individual guidelines and expert consensus was 27. 5 in the American guidelines

followed by 26. 5 in the Chinese consensus

23. 5 in the traditional Chinese medicine guidelines

23. 0 in the Canadian guidelines

20. 0 in the Japanese guidelines and 20. 0 in the European guidelines. Reporting rates in the 7 areas were highest at 83% in area 1 ( basic information)

lowest at 33% in area 5 ( review and quality assurance)

and from 42% and 74% in the remaining areas. Conclusion: The reporting quality of the guidelines and expert consensus for children with tic disorders needs to be further improved. It is suggested that the guidelines makers should refer to the RIGHT standard and formulate high-quality guidelines to provide standardized and clear guidance for clinical practice.
