About GastroGuide

How content is made and reviewed

• Sources first. Clinical statements are written from named guidelines, product information (SmPCs) and primary papers. Each statement carries a numbered citation; guideline records are checked against PubMed or Europe PMC, with the date checked.
• Guideline versus practice point. Items paraphrasing a guideline carry its citation; practical reminders are labelled as practice points.
• AI under medical supervision. AI tools are used to help draft content from the cited sources, under the supervision and guidance of medical doctors, and every draft is checked against its sources. Numbers are copied from the source, never estimated.
• Sources shown on every page. Content is labelled “Sourced from guidelines and papers” and links to each source, with the date the sources were checked. Content has not been individually reviewed by an independent clinician, so check the original before changing practice.
• Calculators. Each calculator shows its formula, derivation paper and limitations, refuses to score with missing or implausible values, and is unit-tested against published values. No calculator gives drug doses.
• Currency. Guidelines older than five years or superseded are flagged. Use “Report a correction” on any page.
• Free and independent. GastroGuide is free to use, with no subscriptions, advertising or sponsored content. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by any society or publisher it cites.
• Original wording. Summaries, checklists and tools are written for GastroGuide; guidelines are cited and linked, not reproduced. Exam questions quote at most a short, attributed passage of a guideline for teaching.
