Webinar Cochrane Norway: What to consider when choosing thresholds for GRADE certainty ratings?

In a key paper from 2017, GRADE defined the certainty of evidence as the certainty that the true effect lies on one side of a threshold or in a particular range. This definition has proved useful as the basis for rating certainty. However, in the initial and subsequent GRADE papers, the categorization of suggested thresholds and ranges as levels of contextualization has proved confusing for some GRADE users. In newly endorsed GRADE guidance a solution is presented – and different considerations that can be made when choosing thresholds are described.

At this webinar the new guidance will be presented together with a background on the topic. We aim for an informal and interactive webinar with a focus on discussing questions and thoughts from participants and implications for work in the Nordic countries.
