European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) Standard Operating Procedure for the development of guidelines
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) has developed a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for the development of clinical practice guidelines, ensuring adherence to rigorous methodological standards based on the principles of the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) framework. Key components include a transparent process for managing conflicts of interest, the incorporation of multidisciplinary panels including individuals with lived experience of diabetes, an evidence synthesis based on comprehensive systematic reviews, and an explicit peer review process. This SOP delineates the roles and responsibilities of the main structures involved, including the Guidelines Oversight Committee, Guideline Development Panels, and Evidence Synthesis Teams. Additionally, the SOP describes the main stages in guideline development, namely scoping of the guideline topic, evidence synthesis, development of Evidence-to-Decision frameworks for the formulation of clear, patient-centred recommendations, writing of the guideline document and the review process.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
