### Logical Definition (CLD)

- Include all codes defined in `http://fhir.awmf.org/awmf.ig/CodeSystem/cs-sign-grade-of-recommendation` version 📦0.2.0

### Expansion

Expansion performed internally based on codesystem SIGN Grade of Recommendation v0.2.0 (CodeSystem)

This value set contains 4 concepts

System | Code | Display (en) | Definition | JSON | XML
`http://fhir.awmf.org/awmf.ig/CodeSystem/cs-sign-grade-of-recommendation` | A | Grade A | At least one meta-analysis, systematic review, or RCT rated as 1++, and directly applicable to the target population; or a body of evidence consisting principally of studies rated as 1+, directly applicable to the target population, and demonstrating overall consistency of results. |  |
`http://fhir.awmf.org/awmf.ig/CodeSystem/cs-sign-grade-of-recommendation` | B | Grade B | A body of evidence including studies rated as 2++, directly applicable to the target population, and demonstrating overall consistency of results; or extrapolated evidence from studies rated as 1++ or 1+. |  |
`http://fhir.awmf.org/awmf.ig/CodeSystem/cs-sign-grade-of-recommendation` | C | Grade C | A body of evidence including studies rated as 2+, directly applicable to the target population and demonstrating overall consistency of results; or extrapolated evidence from studies rated as 2++. |  |
`http://fhir.awmf.org/awmf.ig/CodeSystem/cs-sign-grade-of-recommendation` | D | Grade D | Evidence level 3 or 4; or extrapolated evidence from studies rated as 2+; or consensus-based recommendation. |  |

Explanation of the columns that may appear on this page:

Level | A few code lists that FHIR defines are hierarchical - each code is assigned a level. In this scheme, some codes are under other codes, and imply that the code they are under also applies
System | The source of the definition of the code (when the value set draws in codes defined elsewhere)
Code | The code (used as the code in the resource instance)
Display | The display (used in the display element of a Coding). If there is no display, implementers should not simply display the code, but map the concept into their application
Definition | An explanation of the meaning of the concept
Comments | Additional notes about how to use the code
