Appendix 20. Assessing the relative importance of outcomes and deciding which ones to include in the 'Summary of findings' table

Review: Medical day hospital care for the elderly versus alternative forms of care

Assessed by: LB, AB, TC

Date:

Rate the relative importance for each outcome on a 9 point scale ranging from 1 (not important) to 9 (critical).

1‐3: Not important and not included in the 'Summary of findings' (SoF) table

4‐6: Important but not critical for making a decision (inclusion in the SoF table may depend on how many other important outcomes there are)

7‐9: Critical for making a decision and should definitely be included in the SoF table

Include potential undesirable effects (harms) and resource use (costs), as well as desirable effects (benefits)

*The basis for the assumed risk (e.g. the median control group risk across studies) is provided in footnotes. The corresponding risk (and its 95% confidence interval) is based on the assumed risk in the comparison group and the relative effect of the intervention (and its 95% CI).

GRADE Working Group grades of evidence
High quality: Further research is very unlikely to change our confidence in the estimate of effect.
Moderate quality: Further research is likely to have an important impact on our confidence in the estimate of effect and may change the estimate.
Low quality: Further research is very likely to have an important impact on our confidence in the estimate of effect and is likely to change the estimate.
Very low quality: We are very uncertain about the estimate.

1 Limitations for at least one risk of bias criterion, or some limitations for multiple criteria, sufficient to lower confidence in the estimate of effect
