MImerge recognizes groups of evidences of the same interaction, merging redundant annotations and identifying novel information.
MImerge includes MIscore as a dependency, providing the option of merging interactions and scoring groups of evidences.
This avoids indistinguishable grouping of evidence for the single interactions and their cooperative behaviour.
One author (KKOB) then drafted 25 preliminary recommendations by synthesising results and conclusions from each collective group of evidence.
We then assessed the methodological quality of each included article and the quality of the collective group of evidence from each of the 11 key concepts used to draft each recommendation using GRADE methodological quality criteria.
A group of evidence based treatments related to a disease process, instituted together over a specific timeframe and termed 'a care bundle', is anticipated to result in better outcomes than when they are executed individually.
The intervention was planned to consist of capacity-strengthening activities targeted at three groups: generators of evidence, users of evidence and teachers of evidence.
Many apparently null studies may be under-powered rather than genuinely demonstrating no difference between groups; absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
The group of evidences about the total score of TLN-C, gathered in the present study, contributes with validity evidences of the instrument as a whole.
Our findings add to the limited literature supporting the association between the use of a group of evidence-based interventions, executed together, and improved outcomes.
