Practice Recommendations Based on Low, Very Low, and Missing Evidence

[摘要] Largely bypassing discussion of industry’s influence, the chairs of the Kidney and Dialysis Outcomes Quality Initiative (KDOQI) advisory board and anemia work group and Dr. Uhlig review the structure and the process of guideline development that was used to write the opinion-based clinical practice recommendations (CPR) and evidence-based guidelines (EBG) (1). They propose that the CPR are more than mere opinion, even though they are based on a “quality of evidence (that) is low, very low, or missing” (2).
