Findings from RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences Provide New Insights into Health and Medicine [Investigating how the GRADE Evidence to Decision (EtD) framework is used in Clinical Guidelines: a scoping review protocol [version 1;...].

A scoping review protocol conducted by researchers at RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences in Dublin, Ireland aims to investigate how the GRADE Evidence to Decision (EtD) framework is used in clinical guidelines. The study seeks to identify the key characteristics of how the framework is currently being used and to understand stakeholders' perceptions of its use. The researchers will analyze both published and unpublished documents, including empirical studies and discussion papers, and present their findings through publications and conference presentations. The results of this review will inform future guidance and training on using the GRADE EtD framework in developing recommendations. [Extracted from the article]
