Definitions of the levels of evidence (I—III) and grades of the recommendation (A, B, C, I) are presented at the end of the “Major Recommendations” field. Note from the National Academy of Clinical Biochemistry (NACB) and the National Guideline Clearinghouse (NGC): The Laboratory Medicine Practice Guidelines (LMPG) evidence-based practice for point-of-care testing sponsored by the NACB have been divided into individual summaries covering disease- and test-specific areas.
