Study (Year) | Was the research question or objective in this paper clearly stated? | Was the study population clearly specified and defined? | Was the participation rate of eligible persons at least 50%? | Were all the subjects selected or recruited from the same or similar populations? | Was a sample size justification, power description, or variance and effect estimates provided? | For the analyses in this paper, were the exposure(s) of interest measured prior to the outcome(s) being measured? | Was the timeframe sufficient so that one could reasonably expect to see an association between exposure and outcome if it existed? | For exposures that can vary in amount or level, did the study examine different levels of the exposure? | Were the exposure measures (independent variables) clearly defined, valid, reliable, and implemented consistently across all study participants? | Was the exposure(s) assessed more than once over time? | Were the outcome measures (dependent variables) clearly defined, valid, reliable, and implemented? consistently across all study participants? | Were the outcome assessors blinded to the exposure status of participants? | Was loss to follow-up after baseline 20% or less? | Were key potential confounding variables measured and adjusted statistically for their impact on the relationship? between exposure(s) and outcome(s)? | Summary Quality |
