GRADE quality of evidence and definitions

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: Any estimate of effect is very uncertain.

*GRADE criteria were applied retrospectively to outcomes when GRADE was not used by the original review authors.

ARI: acute respiratory infection; CI: confidence interval; CRP: C‐reactive protein; OR: odds ratio; RCT: randomised controlled trial; RR: risk ratio

1Effect estimates are shown as reported in the original reviews. Multiple effect estimates are reported for some outcomes when reviews did not pool data from trials but reported individual trials separately.
2Schuetz 2012 defined treatment failure in primary care as death, hospitalisation, ARI‐specific complications (e.g. empyema for lower ARIs, meningitis for upper ARIs), recurrent or worsening infection, and still having ARI‐associated discomfort at 30 days. Treatment failure in the emergency setting was defined as death, intensive care unit admission, rehospitalisation after index hospital discharge, ARI‐associated complications (e.g. empyema or acute respiratory distress syndrome for lower ARIs), and recurrent or worsening infection within 30 days of follow‐up.
3Quality of evidence was downgraded one level because of risk of bias: inadequate methods of sequence generation, lack of allocation concealment, and/or lack of blinding of participants.
4Quality of evidence was downgraded one level because of inconsistency: heterogeneity in results likely due to differences in the interventions trialled across studies.
5Quality of evidence was downgraded one level because of risk of publication bias: review only reported effective interventions.
6Quality of evidence was downgraded one level due to imprecision because trials included relatively few patients or when the confidence interval showed substantial variation in the effect of the intervention.
