Note: Selection (1) Representativeness of the sample: (a) Truly representative of the average in the target population (all subjects or random sampling); (b) somewhat representative of the average in the target population (nonrandom sampling); (c) selected group of users; and (d) no description of the sampling strategy. NB: “a” and “b” = ★, “c” and “d” = no ★. (2) Sample size: (a) Justified and satisfactory; (b) Not justified. NB: “a” = ★ and “b” = no ★. (3) Nonrespondents: (a) Comparability between respondents and nonrespondent characteristics is established, and the response rate is satisfactory, (b) the response rate unsatisfactory, or the comparability between respondents and nonrespondents is unsatisfactory, (c) no description of the response rate or the characteristics of the responders and the nonresponders. NB: “a” = ★, “b”, “c” and “d” = no ★. (4) Ascertainment of the exposure/risk factor: Confounding factors are controlled. (a) The study controls for the most important factor (select one), (b) The study control for any additional factor. NB: “a” = 1, “b” = 1. Comparability: The subjects in different outcome groups are comparable, based on the study design (e. g., case or cohort) or analysis. (a) Validated measurement tool. , (b) nonvalidated measurement tool, but the tool is available or described, (c) no description of the measurement tool. NB: “a” = ★★, “b” = ★, “c” = no ★. Outcome Assessment of outcome: (a) Independent blind assessment (b) Record linkage (c) Self report (d) No description. NB: “a” and “b” = ★★, “c” = 1 “d” = 0 Statistical test: (a) is clearly described, appropriate, and measurement of association is presented, including confidence intervals and probability level ( value) (b) is not appropriate. NB: “a” = ★★, “b” = no ★.
