[CANMEDLIB] KS Question: Recommended risk of bias tools

[Sarah Visintini]

Hi Alanna!

What study designs will this synthesis project be looking at? We list a few different tools depending on the design in question: https://uottawa.libguides.com/systematicreview/evaluating

Anecdotally my users seem to favour AMSTAR for SRs, RoB 2 (Cochrane Risk of Bias tool) for RCTs and Ottawa-Newcastle or ROBINS-1 for non-randomized studies.

Best,

Sarah

Hi All,

Could anyone recommend a risk of bias tool that you or a team you've consulted with has used in a knowledge synthesis project?

I am looking for a balance between thoroughness and labour intensity.

Best,
Alanna
