What are the guidelines for developing recommendations for blood pressure in chronic kidney disease?
The recommendations were drafted by the Work Group Co-Chairs and Work Group members. Recommendations were revised in a multistep process during a face-to-face meeting (New Orleans, LA, USA, January 2019) and by e-mail communication. The grading of the quality of the evidence for each critical and important outcome is also provided in the Summary of Findings (SoF) table. In addition, the SoF tables included results from the data synthesis as relative and absolute effect estimates. For further details on the GRADE approach for rating quality of the evidence, see Table 4.
