04/21/08: In working with students, we are seeing some overuse of our Grade B-U. We've refined our Delfini Grading-Conclusions-Results Tool to provide more guidance about use of this grade. In short, because of its use for clinical applications, B-U should be used conservatively. B-U is not a default grade. Rather, it should be used when the study is probably a B and the outcomes are highly likely to be true, but it doesn’t quite comfortably reach a Grade B. The tool has been updated.
