The HIGHEST LEVEL OF EVIDENCE, of LOE-1, is based on a meta-analysis of multiple well-designed randomized controlled studies. A significant amount of nursing research o small pilot studies at LOE-7 or LOE-8. The findings of these studies cannot be generalized, but they provide a basis for future larger and better controlled research. Also refer to table 1-21. The highest level is LOE-1 and the lowest level is LOE-8 (p. 2-3).
