Niveles de Evidencia (U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) ) I: Evidence obtained from at least one properly designed randomized controlled trial II-1: Evidence obtained from well-designed controlled trials without randomization II-2: Evidence obtained from well-designed cohort or case-control analytic studies, preferably from more than one center or research group II-3: Evidence obtained from multiple time series designs with or without the intervention; dramatic results in uncontrolled trials might also be regarded as this type of evidence III: Opinions of respected authorities, based on clinical experience, descriptive studies, or reports of expert committees
Niveles de Evidencia (Canadian Task Force) I: Evidence obtained from at least one properly designed randomized controlled trial II-1: Evidence obtained from a well-designed cohort or case-control analytic study, preferably from more than one center or research group II-2: Evidence obtained from comparisons between times or places with or without the intervention III: Opinions of respected authorities, based on clinical experience, descriptive studies, or reports of expert committees
Niveles de Evidencia 1.Systematic reviews and meta-analyses 2.Randomized controlled trials with definitive results (confidence intervals that do not overlap the threshold of a clinically significant effect) 3.Randomized controlled trials with non-definitive results (a point estimate that suggests a clinically significant effect but with confidence intervals overlapping the threshold for this effect) 4.Cohort studies 5.Case-control studies 6.Cross-sectional surveys 7.Case reports Guyatt GH, Sackett DL, Sinclair JC, Hayward R, Cook DJ, Cook RJ.
