General information
The Aspetar Clinical Guidelines are evidence-based clinical practice guidelines (‘guidelines’)
developed for sports medicine clinicians and patients in Qatar to inform decisions about the
appropriate health care for specific clinical sports medicine conditions.
[1] Although published and available online, these guidelines are specific to Aspetar,
evidence-based, and created according to standardised best practice with specified creation
and revision dates.

implemented.
