Abstract
Description
Appraising the quality of evidence is an important, yet difficult task, complicated by the consideration of disparate evidence. Quality checklists for assessing RCTs abound, yet it is acknowledged that even within this single study the reliability, validity, feasibility and utility of the various tools are either unmeasured or quite variable.
Given the lack of a standard, empirically grounded quality assessment tool suitable for use with a variety of study designs, we developed and implemented two scoring systems to evaluate the quality of the studies potentially eligible for inclusion in our review: one for quantitative research reports, and one for qualitative research reports.
