Abstrakt: Researchers at McMaster University have developed a new tool called ROBINS-E to assess the risk of bias in non-randomized follow-up studies of exposure effects. This tool aims to evaluate the potential biases in results from cohort studies that examine the causal effect of an exposure on an outcome. It provides a standardized framework for examining biases and is expected to be a valuable resource for systematic reviews and informing policy and practice. The researchers believe that ROBINS-E represents an important development in the integration of exposure assessment, evidence synthesis, and causal inference. [Extracted from the article]
