The first factor for determining the SORT LOE is the nature of the outcomes (dependent variables) used in clinical research. The SORT considers 3 main categories of clinical research: diagnosis (factors that help identify the disease or injury); therapy, prevention, or screening (factors that influence the development or resolution [or both] of the disease or injury); and prognosis (the likely sequelae for a patient who develops the disease or injury).4  The different categories of clinical research designs uniquely contribute to the collective body of research evidence from observation to intervention.6  Within each clinical research category, a hierarchy of evidence exists, stratified into 3 levels (ie, LOE 1–3).6  The nature of the outcomes, the quantity and quality of the external evidence, and the consistency of the results affect how evidence is rated on the SORT (Table).
