Clinical pathways for doctors in Pakistan

These are not summaries of ADA, NICE or IDSA — those already exist, and they are better than anything we would write. What these pathways show is where Pakistani practice has to diverge from them, and why: national guideline adaptations, drugs that are not available here, and local resistance data that makes the standard empiric choice the wrong one.

Every recommendation carries a divergence badge

Same as international guideline No local modification — the international recommendation applies here unchanged.
Pakistan-adapted A national body has deliberately changed this for Pakistani conditions, or availability and cost force a different choice. The reason is always stated.
Local data only No national guideline covers this. The recommendation rests on published Pakistani surveillance or cohort data, cited so you can weigh it.
National guideline outdated A Pakistani guideline exists but predates the evidence that now matters — most often because resistance has moved since it was written.

COPD

Highest prevalence in the region at 13.8%, and a fifth of moderate-to-severe disease in people who never smoked. Inhaler choice by eosinophil count, biomass smoke advice, admission criteria — and post-TB COPD, where only 27% respond to a bronchodilator against 82% in COPD alone.

Asthma

The national guideline moved to SABA-free treatment — here is the switching table, the ICS dose bands and the exacerbation algorithms. Plus the myths that shape every consultation here, and the guideline's own admission that its central recommendation is an extrapolation.

Pre-eclampsia and eclampsia

Magnesium sulphate doses, and the instruction most often missed — give it before she is transferred, not after. Plus the 80 mL/hour fluid limit, the labetalol and hydralazine regimens, the screening method the guideline rules out, and the 40% postnatal eclampsia risk.

Tuberculosis

The regimen with doses and fixed-dose-combination weight bands, the isoniazid-resistant options, monitoring, and the pregnancy, liver, renal and HIV adjustments — plus the three WHO regimens Pakistan declines to use, and where to refer resistant disease.

Hypertension

Half of Pakistani adults have it and 6% are controlled. The three staged national targets, the CKD-EPI Pak eGFR equation, and the two practices the guideline tells you to stop.

Type 2 diabetes

Screening starts at 30, not 45. The national guideline does not diagnose on HbA1c. There is no glucagon to prescribe. Includes the RAPID risk score with a working calculator.

Community-acquired pneumonia

The March 2026 national guideline dropped macrolide monotherapy and put doxycycline in its place. The current algorithm, the drug-resistant-pathogen risk factors that branch it, and the fluoroquinolone and tuberculosis trap.

More to come

Each pathway is scoped to the decision local guidance actually changes, not the whole disease. Suggestions for what to cover next are welcome at support@revisefcps1.com.

Decision-support only. These pathways help you apply published guidance and local data quickly. They do not replace clinical judgement, your hospital protocol, or — for antibiotic choice — your own antibiogram, which always takes precedence. Spotted an error? Email support@revisefcps1.com.
