  2. What Confidence Should We Have in Grade?Baigrie Brian & Mercuri Mathew - 2018 - Journal of Evaluation in Clinical Practice 24:1240-1246.
    Rationale, Aims, and Objectives: Confidence (or belief) that a therapy is effective is essential to practicing clinical medicine. GRADE, a popular framework for developing clinical recommendations, provides a means for assigning how much confidence one should have in a therapy's effect estimate. One's level of confidence (or “degree of belief”) can also be modelled using Bayes theorem. In this paper, we look through both a GRADE and Bayesian lens to examine how one determines confidence in the effect estimate. Methods: Philosophical (...)

  3. Interpreting Risk as Evidence of Causality: Lessons Learned from a Legal Case to Determine Medical Malpractice.Baigrie Brian & Mercuri Mathew - 2016 - Journal of Evaluation in Clinical Practice 22:515-521.
    Translating risk estimates derived from epidemiologic study into evidence of causality for a particular patient is problematic. The difficulty of this process is not unique to the medical context; rather, courts are also challenged with the task of using risk estimates to infer evidence of cause in particular cases. Thus, an examination of how this is done in a legal context might provide insight into when and how it is appropriate to use risk information as evidence of cause in a (...)

  4. Going from Evidence to Recommendations: Can GRADE Get Us There?Baigrie Brian, Mercuri Mathew & Upshur Ross - 2018 - Journal of Evaluation in Clinical Practice 24:1232-1239.
    The evidence based medicine movement has championed the need for objective and transparent methods of clinical guideline development. The Grades of Recommendation, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) framework was developed for that purpose. Central to this framework is criteria for assessing the quality of evidence from clinical studies and the impact that body of evidence should have on our confidence in the clinical effectiveness of a therapy under examination. Grades of Recommendation, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation has been adopted by a (...)

  8. Covid-19 and the Generation of Novel Scientific Knowledge: Research Questions and Study Designs.Perillat Lucie & Baigrie Brian - 2021 - Journal of Evaluation in Clinical Practice 27 (3):708-715.
    Rationale, aims, and objectives: One of the sectors challenged by the COVID-19 pandemic is medical research. COVID-19 originates from a novel coronavirus (SARSCoV- 2) and the scientific community is faced with the daunting task of creating a novel model for this pandemic or, in other words, creating novel science. This paper is the first part of a series of two papers that explore the intricate relationship between the different challenges that have hindered biomedical research and the generation of scientific knowledge (...)
