| Popis: |
The Burden of Disease Research Unit (BODRU) of the South African Medical Research Council has developed a standardised risk-of-bias tool that can be used for cross-sectional (including population-based surveys) studies, case-control studies, cohort studies and surveillance. A risk-of-bias score (0-20) can be obtained based on a set of defined criteria to assess the external and internal validity of a study. This tool can be applied to assess the risk-of-bias of observational studies and guide the decision on whether to use or disregard the epidemiological parameters from that particular study. The risk-of-bias-score can also guide statisticians on the size of the weight (based on the quality) that can be applied to estimates from various studies pooled in a meta-analysis. A web-based system, the Burden of Disease Review Manager (BODRevMan), has been developed to manage the systematic review process, including the risk-of-bias assessment and summary of data extracted from articles/studies. |
