Table 2. Potential determinants of DCM HRQoL. Interpretation of the quality of evidence using the GRADE criteria is as follows: High quality (+ + + +) denotes further research is very unlikely to change our confidence in the estimate of effect. Moderate quality (+ + + −) denotes further research is likely to have an important impact on our confidence in the estimate of effect and may change the estimate. Low quality (+ + − −) denotes further research is very likely to have an important impact on our confidence in the estimate of effect and is likely to change the estimate. Very low quality (+ − − −) denotes any estimate of effect is very uncertain.Citation103,Citation104
