For Professionals
Standards and guidelines – orientation and references.
Standardised procedures (SOPs) and guidelines provide a framework for craniofacial care but do not replace the individual, interdisciplinary decision. This page serves as orientation and is being expanded step by step with references. The case-based assessment at a specialist centre remains decisive.
SOPs and guidelines promote quality, comparability and safety. They form a frame of orientation and are adapted to the individual case.
Because craniofacial conditions are rare and diverse, the evidence base is in part limited; recommendations are regularly developed further.
A curated section with references to relevant guidelines, standards of care and professional societies is under construction. Until then: the application of standards takes place within the individual, interdisciplinary assessment.
References to external guidelines will be added and do not replace an independent professional review in the individual case.
That standards and guidelines promote quality and safety is established.
Applicability and interpretation depend on the specific case and context.
The evidence base is in part limited for rare conditions; recommendations are continually updated.
