What are Evidence-Based Nutrition
Practice Guidelines?
Evidence Summaries &
Conclusion Statements =
what the evidence says
Guideline = course of
action for the practitioner
based on the evidence
What are Evidence-Based
Nutrition Practice
Guidelines?
Definition:
A series of guiding statements and treatment
algorithms which are developed using a
systematic process for identifying, analyzing and
synthesizing scientific evidence. They are
designed to assist practitioner and patient
decisions about appropriate nutrition care for
specific disease states or conditions in typical
settings.
Approved by Evidence-Based Practice Committee, 2006
Features of Guidelines




Introduction: scope, intent,
methods, benefits/harms
Recommendations: a series of
guiding statements that propose a
course of action for practitioners
Algorithms: step-by-step flowchart
for treatment of the specific
disease/condition
Appendices: food tables, etc.

Recommendation Example
• R.5. Blue dye should not be added to EN for
detection of aspiration. The risk of using blue
dye outweighs any perceived benefit. The
presence of blue dye in tracheal secretions is
not a sensitive indicator for aspiration.
• Strong

Recommendation Rating
• Strong = Practitioners should follow a Strong
recommendation unless a clear and compelling
rationale for an alternative approach is present.
• Imperative = imperative recommendations
“require,” or “must,” or “should achieve certain
goals,” but do not contain conditional text that
would limit their applicability to specified
circumstances.
Statement Rating
Definition
Implication for Practice
Strong
A Strong recommendation means that the workgroup
believes that the benefits of the recommended approach
clearly exceed the harms (or that the harms clearly
exceed the benefits in the case of a strong negative
recommendation), and that the quality of the supporting
evidence is excellent/good (grade I or II).* In some clearly
identified circumstances, strong recommendations may be
made based on lesser evidence when high-quality
evidence is impossible to obtain and the anticipated
benefits strongly outweigh the harms.
Practitioners should follow a Strong recommendation
unless a clear and compelling rationale for an alternative
approach is present.
Fair
A Fair recommendation means that the workgroup
believes that the benefits exceed the harms (or that the
harms clearly exceed the benefits in the case of a negative
recommendation), but the quality of evidence is not as
strong (grade II or III).* In some clearly identified
circumstances, recommendations may be made based on
lesser evidence when high-quality evidence is impossible
to obtain and the anticipated benefits outweigh the harms.
Practitioners should generally follow a Fair
recommendation but remain alert to new information and
be sensitive to patient preferences.
Weak
A Weak recommendation means that the quality of
evidence that exists is suspect or that well-done studies
(grade I, II, or III)* show little clear advantage to one
approach versus another.
Practitioners should be cautious in deciding whether to
follow a recommendation classified as Weak, and should
exercise judgment and be alert to emerging publications
that report evidence. Patient preference should have a
substantial influencing role.
Consensus
A Consensus recommendation means that Expert opinion
(grade IV) supports the guideline recommendation even
though the available scientific evidence did not present
consistent results, or controlled trials were lacking.
Practitioners should be flexible in deciding whether to
follow a recommendation classified as Consensus,
although they may set boundaries on alternatives. Patient
preference should have a substantial influencing role.
Insufficient Evidence
An Insufficient Evidence recommendation means that
there is both a lack of pertinent evidence (grade V) * and/or
an unclear balance between benefits and harms.
Practitioners should feel little constraint in deciding
whether to follow a recommendation labeled as
Insufficient Evidence and should exercise judgment and
be alert to emerging publications that report evidence that
clarifies the balance of benefit versus harm. Patient
preference should have a substantial influencing role.

Encounter Process for Disorders of Lipid Metabolism
ENCOUNTER: Initial Encounter 45 to 90 minutes
Encounter Process: detailed
process for assessment,
diagnosis, intervention and
monitoring and evaluation of
patients with DLM
Assessment
Obtain the following from client, medical record/information system or clinical referral form within 30 days of
encounter.
Client History consists of four areas: medication and supplement history, social history, medical/health history, and
personal history.
•Medication and Supplement History includes, for instance, prescription lipid-lowering, antihypertensive,
diabetes, and thyroid medications, over the counter (OTC) drugs, herbal and dietary supplements (for example
folate, B-complex vitamins, Co-enzyme Q10, those with potential for food/drug interaction), and illegal drugs.
• Social History may include such items as smoking history, alcohol intake (frequency and amount),
socioeconomic status, social and medical support, cultural and religious beliefs, housing situation, and social
isolation/connection.
•Medical/Health History includes chief nutrition complaint, present/past illness particularly of cardiovascular
disease, diabetes, thyroid disease, evaluate risk factors for cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, family
medical history, especially of premature cardiovascular disease, mental/emotional health and cognitive abilities.
•Personal History consists of factors including age, occupation, role in family, and education level.
Biochemical Data includes laboratory data, for example, lipid profile, glucose, hemoglobin A1C, liver function tests,
thyroid, Lp(a), homocysteine, and high-sensitivity C reactive protein.
Anthropometric Measurements include height, weight, weight history, body mass index (BMI), waist
circumference (WC), waist to hip ratio (WHR)
Physical Exam Findings includes blood pressure, general physical appearance (abdominal girth and presence of
xanthomas) muscle and subcutaneous fat wasting, and affect
Food and Nutrition History consists of four areas: Food consumption, nutrition and health awareness and
management, physical activity and exercise, and food availability
