The GRADE (Grading of Recommendations Assessment,
Development and Evaluation) system was created in 2000
by a dedicated group of guideline developers.
RECOMMENDATIONS
are graded as Strong or Weak
EVIDENCE
is graded for the body of evidence as High, Moderate, Low or Very low quality (A, B, C, or
D).
QUALITY
grading for evidence is based on the risk of bias introduced by study methodology, the
precision the consistency of studies, the directness to the conclusion being made, and the
likelihood of publication bias.
What is GRADE?
GRADE is now the standard

Up-to-Date
Round 1
Who can find the answer most quickly? Use any resource.
Round 1, Question 1
• Is glatiramer acetate effective for relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis? How does it compare to interferon beta?
Round 1, Question 2
What antibiotic should you use for a pregnant woman with acute cystitis?
Round 1, Question 3
• What is the dose of famciclovir for treating zoster in an immunocompetent patient?
Round 1, Question 4
• Are graduated compression stockings effective for reducing the risk for venous thromboembolism after acute stroke?
Round 1, Question 5
• You have a new patient who is an adolescent with obsessive-compulsive disorder. Her parents state this is due to a strep throat. What are the criteria for Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal infection (PANDAS)?
Round 1, Question 6
• How do you diagnose chronic fatigue syndrome?
Round 1, Question 7
• A 45-year-old man complains of shortness of breath for two hours and there was a sudden onset. Two days ago he traveled 12 hours by airplane. He has no history of prior thromboembolism, cancer, or other medical conditions. He has tachycardia (pulse 106 beats/minute) but otherwise normal findings on physical examination. Would you classify his risk for pulmonary embolism as high, intermediate, or low?
Round 1, Question 8
• For the man with an intermediate risk of pulmonary embolism, what testing should you do? Consider the resources available for testing in your setting.
Round 1, Question 9
• How do triflusal and cilostazol compare to aspirin for secondary prevention of stroke in a patient with a history of transient ischemic attacks (TIAs)?
Round 1, Question 10
• What is the most effective antibiotic for uncomplicated symptomatic urinary tract infection in women?
Round 2
• Check different resources to see if the answers are consistent. If not, why not?
Round 2, Question 1
• A 3 year-old girl weighing 13.3 kg (30 lbs) has rotaviral gastroenteritis and moderate dehydration. How do you start fluid replacement?
Round 2, Question 2
• A man complains of sudden sensorineural hearing loss. You prescribe steroids. Should you also include antiviral therapy as part of your treatment plan?
Round 2, Question 3
• You are establishing a protocol for response to patients who develop anaphylaxis in your medical practice. The nurse asks if epinephrine administration can be given subcutaneously instead of intramuscularly. Is there a difference in efficacy between the subcutaneous and intramuscular routes?
Round 2, Question 4
• You are seeing a 22-month-old boy in follow-up after treatment for a urinary tract infection (UTI). He was found to have grade II vesicoureteral reflux (VUR). You wonder if you should start an antibiotic for prophylaxis, and if so, which antibiotic?
Round 2, Question 5
• How do you diagnose irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)? What evaluation is indicated?
Round 2, Question 6
• You diagnosed irritable bowel syndrome. Is fiber an effective treatment?
Round 2, Question 7
• Do antihypertensive medications reduce cardiovascular events in a patient with mild hypertension (blood pressure 145/95 mmHg) and no other cardiovascular risk factors?
