| Who are the relevant patients? Think about age, sex, geographic location, or specific characteristics that would be important to your question. | What is the management strategy, diagnostic test, or exposure that you are interested in? | Is there a control or alternative management strategy you would like to compare to the intervention or indicator? | What are the patient-relevant consequences of the intervention? | What time periods should be considered? What study types are most likely to have the information you seek? What clinical domain does your question fall under? |
