Atherosclerosis
Atherosclerosis is a pattern of the disease arteriosclerosis, characterized by development of abnormalities called lesions in walls of arteries.
See GRADE approach and Atherosclerosis
Biostatistics
Biostatistics (also known as biometry) is a branch of statistics that applies statistical methods to a wide range of topics in biology.
See GRADE approach and Biostatistics
Confounding
In causal inference, a confounder is a variable that influences both the dependent variable and independent variable, causing a spurious association.
See GRADE approach and Confounding
Disease
A disease is a particular abnormal condition that adversely affects the structure or function of all or part of an organism and is not immediately due to any external injury.
See GRADE approach and Disease

See GRADE approach and Health care
Medical guideline
A medical guideline (also called a clinical guideline, standard treatment guideline, or clinical practice guideline) is a document with the aim of guiding decisions and criteria regarding diagnosis, management, and treatment in specific areas of healthcare.
See GRADE approach and Medical guideline

Nutritional science
Nutritional science (also nutrition science, sometimes short nutrition, dated trophology) is the science that studies the physiological process of nutrition (primarily human nutrition), interpreting the nutrients and other substances in food in relation to maintenance, growth, reproduction, health and disease of an organism.
See GRADE approach and Nutritional science
Observational study
In fields such as epidemiology, social sciences, psychology and statistics, an observational study draws inferences from a sample to a population where the independent variable is not under the control of the researcher because of ethical concerns or logistical constraints.
See GRADE approach and Observational study
Patient
A patient is any recipient of health care services that are performed by healthcare professionals.
See GRADE approach and Patient
Public health
Public health is "the science and art of preventing disease, prolonging life and promoting health through the organized efforts and informed choices of society, organizations, public and private, communities and individuals".
See GRADE approach and Public health
Randomized controlled trial
A randomized controlled trial (or randomized control trial; RCT) is a form of scientific experiment used to control factors not under direct experimental control. GRADE approach and randomized controlled trial are evidence-based practices.
See GRADE approach and Randomized controlled trial
Systematic review
A systematic review is a scholarly synthesis of the evidence on a clearly presented topic using critical methods to identify, define and assess research on the topic. GRADE approach and systematic review are evidence-based practices.
