A consensus or society position rather than new primary data.
This is a newly developed clinical pathway called "DIARY" for the integrated diagnosis and treatment of non-suicidal self-injury in Chinese adolescents, created through expert consensus combining psychiatry, psychology, and traditional Chinese medicine. The source presents the framework and its design principles (practicality, scientific validity, cost-effectiveness, memorability) but reports no empirical outcome data, efficacy measures, or validation results.
Expert consensus-derived clinical pathway development. Adolescents with non-suicidal self-injury in China; expert panel from psychiatry, clinical psychology, traditional Chinese medicine, and evidence-based medicine. Intervention: DIARY clinical pathway for integrated diagnosis and treatment of adolescent NSSI. China.
First clinical pathway for adolescent NSSI combining traditional Chinese and Western medicine developed in China Pathway addresses diagnostic inconsistency and poor therapeutic outcomes in current NSSI management Framework developed by multidisciplinary expert panel including psychiatry, clinical psychology, TCM, and evidence-based medicine specialists
Safety was not reported in the material analysed. Check the source before drawing any conclusion about harm.
Clinicians in China may use this pathway to standardize NSSI diagnosis and guide integrated treatment selection across Western and traditional Chinese medicine modalities. However, without reported validation data or outcome metrics, the pathway's clinical utility and superiority over existing approaches cannot yet be assessed.

Graded across the dimensions that decide whether you should act, each from what the source actually supports. There is no single score, and where a dimension was not assessed it says so.
What is missing. This record has no reported figures. That is a gap in the analysis, not a judgement about the study.
Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) in adolescents is a common clinical condition among young people, often associated with adolescent depression or bipolar disorder. The clinical diagnosis and treatment remain challending, leading to issues such as diagnostic inconsistency and poor therapeutic outcomes. We invited a panel of Chinese experts from the fields of psychiatry, clinical psychology, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for emotional disorders, integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine, and evidence-based medicine. Based on clinical practice, particularly in relation to adolescent depression and bipolar disorder, we have developed a clinical pathway for the integrated management of adolescent NSSI in China. Guided by principles of practicality, scientific validity, cost-effectiveness, and ease of memorization, this clinical pathway is named “DIARY.” It offers a constructive approach for the comprehensive, in-depth, and effective treatment of adolescent NSSI. This is the first clinical pathway for NSSI, and it is a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine. There may be shortcomings, but it provides a foundation for developing more comprehensive clinical pathway in treatments for NSSI in the future.
