PRE-CONGRESS COURSE - Moving from evidence-to-decision in Neonatology (TARRAGONA)

Coordinators: Roger Soll, United States; Souvik Mitra, Canada

Introduction

Roger Soll, United States

Moving from evidence-to-decision in neonatology

1. Overview of the workshop & objectives
2. Importance of clinical guidelines
3. Introduction to the GRADE methodology

Assessing the importance & quality of evidence: Part 1

Souvik Mitra, Canada

1. Developing the guideline purpose and formulating the guideline questions
2. Understanding the relevance of outcome selection
3. Source of evidence for guideline development
4. Assessing the quality (risk of bias) of studies included Introduction to the GRADE approach for assessing the quality of evidence

• Formulate a guideline question
• Define thresholds of benefit and harm
• Assess the risk of bias for each domain on the Cochrane Risk of Bias (RoB) tool for the given article
• Assess the overall risk of bias of the body of evidence of the given outcome

Assessing the importance & quality of evidence: Part 2

Souvik Mitra, Canada

1. Assign the certainty of a body of evidence using the GRADE domains

• Assess the rating for the inconsistency domain
• Assess the rating for the imprecision domain

COFFEE BREAK

Moving from evidence to recommendations: Introduction to the Evidence to Decision Framework

Understand the key criteria when moving from evidence to recommendations including balance of benefits and harms, values and preferences, resource implications, cost-effectiveness, equity, acceptability, and feasibility

Large group session: Souvik Mitra, Canada

Making recommendations: Guideline Simulation
Apply the key criteria when moving from evidence to recommendations

Small groups: Guideline panel simulation exercise
