There are several main obstacles to structure clinical questions in the process of developing evidence-based clinical practice guidelines, such as clinicians have misconceptions about clinical question structure, and clinical questions do not fit clinical practice. These obstacles results in the incomplete structure and not standardized expression of the clinical questions, and reduce the quality and applicability of guidelines. To overcome these obstacles, this article introduced the application and specific details of clinical question framing and expression with practical examples, to assist clinicians in understanding clinical questions and to provide methodological references for clinical question formulation in the guidelines.
