  • Gjennomgående nivå 2 (god) dokumentasjon
  • Det finnes ikke randomiserte studier, dette er heller ikke planlagt. Noen har også reist spørsmål hvorvidt det er etisk riktig å unnlate å gjøre screening. De europeiske anbefalingene er basert på store prospektive studier og konsensus blant eksperter
