Which are common domains within the EtD framework?

• A. Unrelated to clinical outcomes
• B. Certainty of evidence, magnitude of benefits and harms, patient values, resource use, equity, acceptability, and feasibility
• C. Only cost-effectiveness
• D. Provider workload only

Answer: (B)

In the EtD framework, decisions are informed by several domains that balance benefits, harms, and practical considerations. The common domains include certainty of evidence, magnitude of benefits and harms, patient values and preferences, resource use, equity, acceptability, and feasibility. Certainty of evidence gauges how confident we are in the effect estimates. Magnitude of benefits and harms describes how large the positive and negative effects are. Patient values and preferences ensure the recommendation aligns with what matters most to patients. Resource use assesses costs and the overall use of resources. Equity considers fairness and whether the recommendation affects disparities. Acceptability reflects whether the intervention is acceptable to patients and other stakeholders. Feasibility covers real-world implementability, including practical constraints. Together, these domains capture both the clinical impact and how a recommendation would work in real settings for diverse populations. The other options miss these broader facets or fixate on a single element, like cost or provider workload, making them incomplete representations of common EtD domains.
