Disclaimer
The information contained in this publication is intended for medical professionals. Categories presented in BMJ Health Intelligence indicate a judgement about the strength of the evidence available to our authors prior to publication and the relative importance of benefits and harms.

Also, the categories do not indicate whether a particular treatment is generally appropriate or whether it is suitable for a particular individual. Ultimately it is the readers' responsibility to make their own professional judgements, so as to appropriately advise and treat their patients.
