Q

Define Grade A evidence

A

There is high certainty that the net benefit is substantial.

(Giddens 47 Evidence, notes)

Q

Define Grade B evidence

A

There is high certainty that the net
benefit is moderate or there is moderate certainty that the net benefit is moderate to substantial.

(Giddens 47 Evidence, notes)

39
Q

Define Grade D evidence

A

There is moderate or high certainty that the intervention has no net benefit or that the harms outweigh the benefits.
