Despite the growing evidence in the field of lower urinary tract symptoms, the development and interpretation of guidelines remains difficult. This workshop aims to provide ICS members (both guideline-developers and users) with important background knowledge to enhance the quality of future guidelines.

Within the allotted time, we will focus on the following aspects:

  • GRADE methodology and systematic reviews & meta-analyses
  • What is a risk factor?
  • Interpretation of odds ratios for common conditions.
  • Statistical significance vs. clinical relevance for treatment outcomes?
  • The impact of the setting from which evidence arises
