Abstract
Objective:
To learn how to assess the quality of evidence and preparing a summary of findings table for diagnostic tests and to collect feedback from participants.
Summary:
Cochrane review authors and many other organizations use the GRADE approach to grade the quality of evidence for interventions studies in Cochrane summary of findings (SoF) tables—a presentation of the most important information and findings of reviews in a table format. The GRADE working group has also suggested an approach to grading the quality of evidence and developing SoF Tables for questions of diagnostic accuracy. Suggested formats for SoF Tables for diagnostic test accuracy studies have been developed with support from the Cochrane Methods Innovation Fund. This workshop will introduce the approach and collect feedback through hands on work on examples.
