A summary is presented by clinical practice guideline and contain all recommendations for assessment and conservative care, duly classified by strength of recommendation.
The visual overview centralizes all the recommendations of the last 10 years’ clinical practice guidelines for a given pathology.
One recommendation is one circle.
The darker the colour, the stronger the recommendation (respectively from a recommendation based on good practice, to weak, moderate, and strong).

As a company that values the ongoing professional development of our employees, it goes without saying that Bia's scientific subscription was going to help us in this avenue.
The abstracts of scientific articles are clear and concise, allowing us to keep abreast of the latest evidence. Professionals have also told us that they appreciate having access to various webinars to optimize their patients' care. Lots of relevant information at a low price. So far, everyone loves it
The membership is really convenient, and I especially enjoy the webinars, which are varied, interesting and educational! I love being able to adjust the listening speed, and having the option of listening in French or English.
As an osteopath, I really appreciate the variety of topics covered in the scientific articles. It's a valuable resource for my practice and I'll definitely be subscribing again, as the content is so useful.

Firstly, 70% of article abstracts cover the field of orthopaedics, while the remaining 30% are divided between our other themes, all of which are available on our website.
The article selection process is rigorous, since we want to offer you high-quality, up-to-date articles that are of course relevant and applicable in the clinic.
Scientific rigor is an important value at Bia, and our scientific committee has put in place a very rigorous process to determine the level of evidence.
The process is based on the use of 2 well-recognized scales: the “Evidence Based Practice Tool” from Winona State University and the well-known GRADE scale.
To find out more, we invite you to read our blog on the subject.
A clinical practice guideline recommendation is represented by a point. A point is located at the intersection of a practice guide (in X) and a procedure (in Y). When a point is present, the practice guide has issued a recommendation for that procedure. If no dot is present, the practice guide has not issued a recommendation for this intervention.
The color of the dot indicates two things: 1) whether or not the intervention is recommended; and 2) for whom the intervention is recommended. Specifically, a green dot represents a recommendation for all people with the condition. A yellow dot represents a recommendation for a specific sub-group of people with the condition (e.g. for all low-back pain sufferers with a high level of kinesiophobia). Information on the sub-group of the yellow dot can be found in the summary of the practice guide. A red dot represents a recommendation against intervention for all people with the condition. A grey dot represents no recommendation due to conflicting, insufficient or inconclusive evidence. In this case, the practice guide has stated that it is not possible to make a recommendation on the intervention in question at this stage.
Interventions are classified by type of recommendation (all in green, some in yellow, not recommended in red). This classification also takes into account the number of practice guidelines that have issued a recommendation on this intervention, as well as the strength of the recommendation. Thus, a procedure that has been extensively studied and recommended for all by several guidelines will be at the top of the figure. A little-studied intervention will probably be in the middle of the figure. An intervention that has been extensively studied and not recommended for all by several clinical practice guidelines will be at the bottom of the figure. This classification is intended to facilitate interpretation of the overview.

We do not evaluate the quality of the clinical practice guidelines presented. The healthcare professional consulting our resources must critically analyze the literature presented.
Caution should be exercised when comparing the strength of recommendations between clinical practice guidelines, as they are not all based on the same scale. Consultation of the scale used by the clinical practice guide is the priority reference.
While this is not a limitation in itself, we are not a substitute for the clinical judgment of a healthcare professional.
