Graded evidence based summaries on UpToDate

All WUTH members of staff have access to UpToDate, a tool to support clinical decision making. 
Access UpToDate via the WUTH intranet (select the UpToDate link in the ‘Clinical’ box) or via www.uptodate.com with your NHS Athens account. 

UpToDate has adopted the GRADE approach to classify both the strength of recommendation and the quality of the underlying information. Currently UpToDate includes more than 9,000 graded recommendations, and the process is ongoing. To view a topic's graded recommendations, simply click on the "Summary and Recommendations" button at the top of the outline.


Learn more about evidence-based medicine, as well as more in-depth instruction about the GRADE system, with the UpToDate interactive tutorial on grading available at www.uptodate.com/home/grading-tutorial.
