Statements, Guidelines & Reports

Registration 2024 

Official ATS Documents include clinical practice guidelines, policy statements, research statements, technical standards, and workshop reports, many of which are developed collaboratively with other professional societies.

  • Clinical practice guidelines make recommendations for patient care. The recommendations are based upon a systematic review or pragmatic evidence synthesis, and then formulated and graded using the GRADE approach.
  • Statements present the views of the ATS on issues related to public policy or research policy.
  • Technical statements describe how to perform a test or procedure and describe the underlying evidence.
  • Workshop reports describe conferences and workshops sponsored by the ATS.
