Abstract
The guidelines are based on comprehensive literature surveys including results from randomised controlled trials, systematic reviews and meta-analyses, and cohort, prospective, and retrospective studies. On issues where no significant study data were available, evidence was obtained from expert committee reports or opinions. Where possible, specific recommendations have been graded, based on the quality of evidence available (section 2.4).Keywords
