Abstract：Objective To evaluate the quality of guidelines for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis,so as to provide reference for the formula-tion of guidelines in the future. Methods The relevant databases and websites were searched,and the guidelines that met the standards were screened out with the search time from the establishment of the database to February 2024. The AGREE Ⅱ guideline quality evalua-tion tool and the JBI guideline evaluation tool were used to evaluate the evidence-based guidelines and consensus guidelines respectively,and the main recommendations were sorted out and analyzed. Results Ten guidelines that met the criteria were selected,including 8 ev-idence-based guidelines and 2 consensus guidelines. Among the 8 evidence-based guidelines,2 were A-level literature and 8 were B-level literature. The standardized scores of each field were:scope and purpose (73.61％),stakeholder involvement (80.55％),rigor of devel-opment (72.14％),clarity of presentation (75.70％),applicability (59.90％),editorial independence (68.23％). The quality evaluation results of the two consensus guidelines were "included". Conclusion The selected guidelines are generally of high quality,and should be improved in the field of guideline applicability. Clinicians should keep abreast of the latest developments in the guidelines.
