Background/aim: The "Pediatric Acute Lung Injury Consensus Conference" (PALICC) was convened in order to develop a taxonomy to define pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation (AGREE) assesses the quality of guidelines. The aim of this study is to evaluate the new pediatric ARDS guideline using the AGREE II instrument. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first assessment of the new pediatric ARDS clinical practice guideline in the English literature.
