1. What are GRADE Guidelines

GRADE guidelines (or GRADE Guidance) are official papers by the GRADE Working Group, which describe how to apply the GRADE method. Each paper must be accepted by the Group prior to publication. Papers refer to various GRADE concepts: they can introduce a concept, expand on it, or update it.
