Note: links and images are rebased to the (stated) source
This value set expansion contains 9 concepts.
| Code | System | Display | Definition |
| Overall | http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/certainty-type | Overall certainty | Overall certainty of evidence (quality of evidence). |
| RiskOfBias | http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/certainty-type | Risk of bias | methodologic concerns reducing internal validity. |
| Inconsistency | http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/certainty-type | Inconsistency | concerns that findings are not similar enough to support certainty. |
| Indirectness | http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/certainty-type | Indirectness | concerns reducing external validity. |
| Imprecision | http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/certainty-type | Imprecision | fuzzy or wide variability. |
| PublicationBias | http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/certainty-type | Publication bias | likelihood that what is published misrepresents what is available to publish. |
| DoseResponseGradient | http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/certainty-type | Dose response gradient | higher certainty due to dose response relationship. |
| PlausibleConfounding | http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/certainty-type | Plausible confounding | higher certainty due to risk of bias in opposite direction. |
| LargeEffect | http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/certainty-type | Large effect | higher certainty due to large effect size. |
