Guidelines are inconsistent in how they rate the quality of evidence and strength recommendations. This article explores advantages GRADE system, which is increasingly being adopted by organisations worldwide
Non-randomised studies of the effects interventions are critical to many areas healthcare evaluation, but their results may be biased. It is therefore important understand and appraise strengths weaknesses. We developed ROBINS-I ("Risk Of Bias In Studies - Interventions"), a new tool for evaluating risk bias in estimates comparative effectiveness (harm or benefit) from that did not use randomisation allocate units (individuals clusters individuals) comparison groups. The will particularly...

The GRADE system classifies recommendations made in guidelines as either strong or weak. This article explores the meaning of these descriptions and their implications for patients, clinicians, policy makers
Network meta-analysis (NMA), combining direct and indirect comparisons, is increasingly being used to examine the comparative effectiveness of medical interventions. Minimal guidance exists on how rate quality evidence supporting treatment effect estimates obtained from NMA. We present a four-step approach in each direct, indirect, NMA based methods developed by GRADE working group. Using an example published NMA, we show that varies high very low across ratings given whole network are...
The GRADE system can be used to grade the quality of evidence and strength recommendations for diagnostic tests or strategies. This article explains how patient-important outcomes are taken into account in this process
