Abstract
With the depenalization of professional conduct of the physician in case of adherence to the guidelinesproposed by L. 189/2012 the discussion on the quality of the available guidelines in the literaturehas led the authors to a review with particular regard to stakeholder involvement in the elaborationprocess. Evident critical points arise in the accessible studies that have used as an assessmenttool a scientifically validated questionnaire (Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation– AGREE). As a result the solution of the legislature, although useful to contain the phenomenon ofdefensive medicine, may be useless and ineffective in criminal cases where fundamental and absoluterights, as the right to life and health of patients, are involved.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
