Table 2 Grading of the evidence in the Current Care guidelines.
Level | Description |
---|---|
A | Strong research‐based evidence (multiple, relevant, high‐quality studies with homogeneous results—eg, two or more randomised controlled trials or a systematic review with clearly positive results) |
B | Moderate evidence (eg, one randomised controlled trial, or multiple adequate studies) |
C | Limited research‐based evidence (eg, controlled prospective studies) |
D | No evidence (eg, retrospective studies, or the consensus reached in the absence of good quality evidence) |
