Tools for assessing quality and susceptibility to bias in observational studies in epidemiology: a systematic review and annotated bibliography
International Journal of Epidemiology · 2007 · Vol. 36(3) · pp. 666–676
Abstract
A number of useful assessment tools have been identified by this report. Tools should be rigorously developed, evidence-based, valid, reliable and easy to use. There is a need to agree on critical elements for assessing susceptibility to bias in observational epidemiology and to develop appropriate evaluation tools.
