VA/DoD guidelines are based upon the best evidence available at the
time of publication. They are designed to provide information and assist decision-making.
They should not be interpreted as prescribing an exclusive course of management.
Pocket guides are not intended to provide individual medical advice. For such advice,
patients should contact their physician or healthcare provider. Variations in practice will inevitably and appropriately occur when clinicians
take into account the needs of individual patients, available resources,
and limitations unique to an institution or type of practice. Every health-care
professional making use of these guidelines is responsible for evaluating
the appropriateness of applying them in the setting of any particular
clinical situation.
