Evidenzbeurteilung publizierter Studien

  • Level 1a: Evidenz aus Metaanalysen randomisierter Studien,

  • Level 1b: Evidenz aus mindestens einer randomisierten Studie mit guter Qualität,

  • Level 2a: Evidenz aus einer gut durchgeführten (experimentellen) Studie ohne Randomisierung,

  • Level 2b: Evidenz aus mindestens einer gut durchgeführten, quasiexperimentellen Studie, Kohortenstudien,

  • Level 3: Evidenz aus einer gut durchgeführten, nichtexperimentellen Studie, z. B. Vergleichsstudie, Korrelationsuntersuchung oder „case-report“,

  • Level 4: Evidenz aus Expertenkommissionen, Expertenmeinungen oder klinische Evidenz von anerkannten Autoritäten.

Grad der Empfehlung

  • Grad A: Basiert auf klinischen Studien von guter Qualität und Konsistenz, welche spezifische Empfehlungen gegeben haben und mindestens eine randomisierte Studie beinhalten (konsistente Level-1-Untersuchungen).

  • Grad B: Basiert auf gut durchgeführten klinischen Studien, aber ohne randomisierte klinische Studien (konsistente Level-2- oder -3-Studien).

  • Grad C: Basiert ohne direkt zutreffende klinische Studien von guter Qualität (Level-4-Untersuchungen oder Level-2/3-Untersuchungen mit mehrheitlicher Evidenz).
