Among the many interesting findings, the reduced odds of receiving any treatment for non-White and Hispanic persons is jarring.

Another interesting findings here was the variability in LBP-spending between patients who did or did not receive early PT by state. In some states early PT resulted in higher spending, in other states less spending. Opportunity to identify factors associated with cost savings.

Great reflections @jsharpePT363 @UofUPT
"Being able to gain insight to a large health system has opened doors to meet new people, learn about implementation science, and apply new skills as health services researcher." academyhealth.org/blog/2021-…
GRADE criteria rates the quality of the evidence, but not explicitly the behavioral response which can in take some additional considerations, but yes, is certainly a good option for SRs and guidelines.
Replying to @jfritzPT
Was there any reason that the GRADE criteria wasn’t used? It seems to me that the reason for the GRADE criteria is to simplify the language around the strength of the evidence/recommendations for guidelines/SR’s

Rationale for using "should" or "may", etc. is in Table 8. I take your point. Perhaps a better word exists, but communicating that findings should influence clinical behavior to an extent commensurate with the evidence seems consistent with the goal of a practice guideline.
Replying to @jfritzPT
Well done on a huge piece of work. I am curious on the language. “Should” = used to indicate obligation, duty, or correctness, typically when criticizing someone's actions. Hard to rationalise that I should do manual therapy on someone with back pain. Seems a strong instruction

Strong-worded critique is an essential part of consolidating a body of knowledge and identifying opportunities to advance the field and improve care, which are ultimately what guidelines should do. It's possible that twitter is a less than ideal forum for such dialogue.
Having been involved on the floor level of developing a clinical practice guideline (article reviewer for the HF CPG) it takes A LOT of free work from A LOT of people. Just something to consider for those giving strong-worded criticism of any CPG. It’s a massive undertaking.
