GRADE guidelines (Grades of Recommendation, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation)

From Journal of Clinical Epidemiology (JCE)

JCE published some systemic recommendations/guidance for rating quality of evidence and grading strength of recommendations in healthcare on two issues. I combined these related linkages below:

JCE Volume 64, Issue 4

Standards, guidelines, and norms

Challenges in guideline methodology

GRADE guidelines: A new series of articles in the Journal of Clinical Epidemiology

GRADE guidelines: 1. Introduction—GRADE evidence profiles and summary of findings tables

GRADE guidelines: 2. Framing the question and deciding on important outcomes

GRADE guidelines: 3. Rating the quality of evidence

GRADE guidelines: 4. Rating the quality of evidence—study limitations (risk of bias)

JCE Volume 64, Issue 12

Evidence, (un)certainty, and clinical practice

GRADE: complex decisions

Strength of evidence and handling uncertainty: practical considerations and general observations

GRADE guidelines: 5. Rating the quality of evidence—publication bias

GRADE guidelines 6. Rating the quality of evidence—imprecision

GRADE guidelines: 7. Rating the quality of evidence—inconsistency

GRADE guidelines: 8. Rating the quality of evidence—indirectness

GRADE guidelines: 9. Rating up the quality of evidence
