Evidence classification method: The 'King Saud University (KSU) Modified ADAPTE' Method was used, as a formal adaptation framework, in the synthesis of this national evidence-based clinical practice guideline (CPG). Quality assessment or critical appraisal of the eligible source original CPGs was conducted using the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation (AGREE) II Instrument (https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0219239). We have used the same rating system for the hierarchy of evidence and strength of recommendation that was proposed by the final high-quality source CPG that was selected based on this AGREE II assessment.
