New Grades for Recommendations from the Canadian Task Force on Preventive Health Care (Report)

Summary

To assist physicians and other users of the work of the Canadian Task Force on Preventive Health Care, our recommendations for clinical preventive actions are now organized into 6 letter grades or categories based on synthesis and evaluation of the best available evidence. We have recently made several refinements that we hope will be helpful to those who use our work. The changes reflect the ongoing evolution of methodology and reporting, both within our group and in the larger context of evidence-based medicine.
