Although the views expressed in the Comment did not necessarily represent the official policy of WHO, we postulated that decision makers at WHO would not be indifferent to the findings of Oxman and colleagues.We therefore aimed to assess the use of systematic reviews in WHO guidelines in the period after the study. We searched the WHO website using the search term “guidelines” and found 31 publicly available WHO guidance documents prepared or updated between January, 2009, and March, 2011.4WHOWHO guidelines approved by the Guidelines Review Committee.http://www.who.int/rpc/guidelines/en/Google Scholar All these recommendations made reference to systematic reviews, which were generally less than 2 years old at the time of guideline preparation. Where there were no recent systematic reviews, WHO commissioned them.5WHOWHO recommendations for induction of labour. World Health Organization, Geneva2011Google ScholarWHO recommendations potentially have an important effect on millions of people in low-income and middle-income countries, which usually lack the resources to develop and maintain evidence-informed guidelines. Therefore, this quick culture change at WHO is praiseworthy and an example worth emulating by other development organisations.We declare that we have no conflicts of interest.
