High certainty: Further research is very unlikely to change our confidence in the estimate of effect.
Moderate certainty: Further research is likely to have an important impact on our confidence in the estimate of effect and may change the estimate.
Low certainty: Further research is very likely to have an important impact on our confidence in the estimate of effect and is likely to change the estimate.
Very low certainty: We are very uncertain about the estimate. Abbreviations: ABHR: alcohol‐based hand rub; CRNA: certified registered nurse anaesthetist; RCT: randomised (controlled) trial | |||
1Evidence downgraded from high to moderate due to high risk for bias (two sources of high risk and two sources of unclear risk ).
