Understanding the Quality of Evidence Indicators and Global Agreement Associated with IAPD Recommendations. Consensus-based Statements rely on evidence from expert opinion of the IAPD Science Committee or other expert opinion documents, such as AAPD Best Practices documents. Consensus-based Recommendations rely on published high-quality evidence such as clinical trials, or meta analyses of clinical trials. Each IAPD Consensus-based Recommendation or Statement was evaluated to determine applicability to global clinical practices.

The average number of evaluators for each recommendation was 23. Click Here to View this Free Resource.
