Sep 6, 2019 · GRADE assessment provides a structured way to consider key factors that may increase or decrease our confidence in the synthesised findings of a body of evidence (Guyatt, Oxman et al. 2011; Schünemann, Oxman et al. 2017). These factors include: the risk of publication or reporting biases.
The levels of evidence hierarchy is specifically concerned with the risk of bias in the presented results that is related to study design (see Explanatory note 4 to Table 3), whereas the quality of the evidence is assessed separately.
The currently available NHMRC levels of evidence for intervention studies (NHMRC 2000b), together with the new levels of evidence for questions on diagnosis, prognosis, aetiology and screening are shown in the evidence hierarchy in Table 1.
