    Objetivo: Evaluar críticamente la calidad metodológica de la Guía de Práctica Clínica para malaria de la Organización Mundial de la Salud. Metodología: Tres revisores de forma independiente utilizaron el instrumento AGREE II para evaluar la calidad metodológica de la Guía de Práctica Clínica para malaria. Las calificaciones fueron recogidas y analizadas en una matriz de EXCEL. Se utilizó el coeficiente de concordancia de Fleiss Kappa para determinar la medida de acuerdo entre los evaluadores. Resultados: La Guía de Práctica Clínica (GPC) destacó en claridad, objetivos, y participación de los implicados, pero identificó áreas de mejora en rigor de elaboración y aplicabilidad. Con puntuaciones altas en la mayoría de los dominios y una buena gestión de la independencia editorial, se recomienda su uso a pesar de los desafíos en implementación práctica. Conclusiones: La evaluación AGREE II de la Guía de la OMS para malaria 2022 destaca su calidad y claridad, pero señala áreas de mejora en metodología y aplicabilidad. Subraya la necesidad de adaptación local y colaboración para actualizar continuamente las recomendaciones.

    Objective. To describe the results, achievements, and lessons learned through administrative coverage and rapid monitoring of a follow-up vaccination campaign, in the context of political prioritization and micro-planning as determining factors in the different stages of follow-up campaigns, and the application of these good practices to strengthen the National Immunization Program. Method. This is a special descriptive epidemiological report on a high-quality follow-up vaccination campaign in Ecuador. The sources of information used were: population estimates from the 2010 and 2022 censuses carried out by the National Institute of Statistics and Census; calculation of the susceptible cohort for vaccination with the bivalent vaccine (measles and rubella) and with the oral and injectable polio vaccines; definition of vaccination strategies and tactics, and vaccine scheduling by type and age group; and macro- and micro-planning instruments generated at the local level, which involve quantitative variables related to human, material, logistic, and financial resources. Achievement of high-quality criteria and indicators for follow-up vaccination campaigns were also assessed, including effectiveness, homogeneity, timeliness, simultaneity, efficiency, and rapid monitoring. Results. The micro-planning process was fully implemented nationwide in 95% of health facilities (1879) four weeks prior to implementation of the follow-up campaign. High-quality follow-up was conducted over 14 weeks: 3 395 716 children aged 1-12 years were vaccinated and 99% administrative coverage was achieved, with 71% of provinces (17) reaching ≥95% coverage. In the remaining 29% of provinces (7), coverage rates were between 90% and 94%, with a total of 5 556 128 doses of bivalent vaccine and oral or injectable polio vaccine. Based on the quality criteria, the country achieved 95% of the targeted results. Conclusions. Political support and prioritization, together with the implementation of high-quality micro-planning of the follow-up vaccination campaign generated at the local level, enabled the achievement of targets and results at ≥95% coverage. This is an innovative and successful public health experience that has strengthened the National Immunization Program in Ecuador and other countries in the Region of the Americas. Local health teams conducted micro-planning adapted to the local context, using the methodology and instruments to identify areas of responsibility in orderly, systematic intramural and extramural vaccination campaigns.
