Search for CPGs Search for CPGs with recommendations about CRP (in primary care patients with cough) or colonoscopy (in secondary care patients suspected of having colon cancer) International Guideline Library (Guidelines International Network) We searched the International Guideline Library, hosted by Guidelines International Network, on January 15th, 2021.
