Hello Ricardo:

I am not aware of any published guidance or experience, but there is lots of collective experience on that issue among the 250+ GRADE members. My "parent" organization, the American Urological Association actually has comparably good resources but does not use GRADE; therefore I might not be the best person to comment. 

I've copied Yngve Falck-Ytter who manages the GRADE list server for you to contact directly. He may be able to forward your query to the membership or comment himself.

I hope this helps.

Subject: GRADE in methodologically constrained settings

Hi all,


can anyone point me out to published literature, protocols or previous experience in applying GRADE to guideline development in (relatively) "methodologically" constrained resource setting?


I am trying to help design and conduct a national society guideline with good access to literature but few other resources/time and only one methodologist (myself). Obviously this is not the best way to do it...


Thanks
