Expansion based on EvidenceCertaintyType v5.0.0-snapshot3 (CodeSystem)

Code	System	Display	Definition
Overall	http://hl7.org/fhir/certainty-type	Overall certainty	Overall certainty of evidence (quality of evidence).
RiskOfBias	http://hl7.org/fhir/certainty-type	Risk of bias	methodologic concerns reducing internal validity.
Inconsistency	http://hl7.org/fhir/certainty-type	Inconsistency	concerns that findings are not similar enough to support certainty.
Indirectness	http://hl7.org/fhir/certainty-type	Indirectness	concerns reducing external validity.
Imprecision	http://hl7.org/fhir/certainty-type	Imprecision	fuzzy or wide variability.
PublicationBias	http://hl7.org/fhir/certainty-type	Publication bias	likelihood that what is published misrepresents what is available to publish.
DoseResponseGradient	http://hl7.org/fhir/certainty-type	Dose response gradient	higher certainty due to dose response relationship.
PlausibleConfounding	http://hl7.org/fhir/certainty-type	Plausible confounding	higher certainty due to risk of bias in opposite direction.
LargeEffect	http://hl7.org/fhir/certainty-type	Large effect	higher certainty due to large effect size.

Explanation of the columns that may appear on this page:

Lvl

A few code lists that FHIR defines are hierarchical - each code is assigned a level. For value sets, levels are mostly used to organize codes for user convenience, but may follow code system hierarchy - see Code System for further information

Source

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). If the code is in italics, this indicates that the code is not selectable ('Abstract')

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
