Firstly, by type (effectiveness and safety) and secondly, by degree of coincidence: similar (present in both documents and similarly defined); discrepant (present in both documents but with discordant definitions); and unique (only described in one of the two documents). Our analysis of the two texts shows that eight indicators of effectiveness are similar and three are discrepant. In addition, one safety indicator was found to be discrepant, two indicators were unique to the GICa-ASEBIR document and five were unique to the MBP-SEF.
