Abstract
Members and non-members of the International Society for the Study of Vulvovaginal Disease (ISSVD), acknowledged as experts in the field of vulvovaginitis, from different countries and backgrounds, were invited to participate in this mission. Participants were involved in one or more working groups, according to their expertise and interest. Each group performed a systematic review and produced a draft based on that. The next step of the process consisted of discussion of the drafts, open to all participants involved in the development of this document. Finally, all drafts were reviewed by the editors and sent back for discussion in case of need. The levels of evidence and grades of recommendation in the final tables of each chapter were based on the “Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine: Levels of Evidence”. The final version of the document was accepted by all authors.
