Flaws in the design, conduct, analysis, and reporting of randomised trials can cause the effect ofan intervention to be underestimated or overestimated.The Cochrane Collaboration’s tool forassessing risk of bias aims to make the process clearer and more accurate

Principlesforassessingriskofbias
1.Donotusequalityscales
Qualityscalesandresultingscoresarenotanappropriatewaytoappraiseclinicaltrials.Theytendtocombineassessmentsofaspectsofthequalityofreportingwithaspectsoftrialconduct,andtoassignweightstodifferentitemsinwaysthataredifficulttojustify.Boththeoreticalconsiderations10andempiricalevidence11suggestthatassociationsofdifferentscaleswithinterventioneffectestimatesareinconsistentandunpredictable
2.Focusoninternalvalidity
Theinternalvalidityofastudyistheextenttowhichitisfreefrombias.Itisimportanttoseparateassessmentofinternalvalidityfromthatofexternalvalidity(generalisabilityorapplicability)andprecision(theextenttowhichstudyresultsarefreefromrandomerror).Applicabilitydependsonthepurposeforwhichthestudyistobeusedandislessrelevantwithoutinternalvalidity.Precisiondependsonthenumberofparticipantsandeventsinastudy.Asmalltrialwithlowriskofbiasmayprovideveryimpreciseresults,withawideconfidenceinterval.Conversely,theresultsofalargetrialmaybeprecise(narrowconfidenceinterval)buthaveahighriskofbiasifinternalvalidityispoor
3.Assesstheriskofbiasintrialresults,notthequalityofreportingormethodologicalproblemsthatarenotdirectlyrelatedtoriskofbias
Thequalityofreporting,suchaswhetherdetailsweredescribedornot,affectstheabilityofsystematicreviewauthorsandusersofmedicalresearchtoassesstheriskofbiasbutisnotdirectlyrelatedtotheriskofbias.Similarly,someaspectsoftrialconduct,suchasobtainingethicalapprovalorcalculatingsamplesize,arenotdirectlyrelatedtotheriskofbias.Conversely,resultsofatrialthatusedthebestpossiblemethodsmaystillbeatriskofbias.Forexample,blindingmaynotbefeasibleinmanynon-drugtrials,anditwouldnotbereasonabletoconsiderthetrialaslowqualitybecauseoftheabsenceofblinding.Nonetheless,manytypesofoutcomemaybeinfluencedbyparticipants’knowledgeoftheinterventionreceived,andsothetrialresultsforsuchoutcomesmaybeconsideredtobeatriskofbiasbecauseoftheabsenceofblinding,despitethisbeingimpossibletoachieve
4.Assessmentsofriskofbiasrequirejudgment
Assessmentofwhetheraparticularaspectoftrialconductrendersitsresultsatriskofbiasrequiresbothknowledgeofthetrialmethodsandajudgmentaboutwhetherthosemethodsarelikelytohaveledtoariskofbias.Wedecidedthatthebasisforbiasassessmentsshouldbemadeexplicit,byrecordingtheaspectsofthetrialmethodsonwhichthejudgmentwasbasedandthenthejudgmentitself
5.Choosedomainstobeassessedbasedonacombinationoftheoreticalandempiricalconsiderations
Empiricalstudiesshowthatparticularaspectsoftrialconductareassociatedwithbias.212However,thesestudiesdidnotincludeallpotentialsourcesofbias.Forexample,availableevidencedoesnotdistinguishbetweendifferentaspectsofblinding(ofparticipants,healthprofessionals,andoutcomeassessment)andisverylimitedwithregardtohowauthorsdealtwithincompleteoutcomedata.Theremayalsobetopicspecificanddesignspecificissuesthatarerelevantonlytosometrialsandreviews.Forexample,inareviewcontainingcrossovertrialsitmightbeappropriatetoassesswhetherresultswereatriskofbiasbecausetherewasaninsufficient“washout”periodbetweenthetwotreatmentperiods
6.Focusonriskofbiasinthedataasrepresentedinthereviewratherthanasoriginallyreported
Somepapersmayreporttrialresultsthatareconsideredasathighriskofbias,forwhichitmaybepossibletoderivearesultatlowriskofbias.Forexample,apaperthatinappropriatelyexcludedcertainpatientsfromanalysesmightreporttheinterventiongroupsandoutcomesforthesepatients,sothattheomittedparticipantscanbereinstated
7.Reportoutcomespecificevaluationsofriskofbias
Someaspectsoftrialconduct(forexample,whethertherandomisedallocationwasconcealedatthetimetheparticipantwasrecruited)applytothetrialasawhole.Forotheraspects,however,theriskofbiasisinherentlyspecifictodifferentoutcomeswithinthetrial.Forexample,allcausemortalitymightbeascertainedthroughlinkagestodeathregistries(lowriskofbias),whilerecurrenceofcancermighthavebeenassessedbyadoctorwithknowledgeoftheallocatedintervention(highriskofbias)
Presentationofassessments
Resultsofanassessmentofriskofbiascanbepresentedinatable,inwhichjudgmentsforeachitemineachtrialarepresentedalongsidetheirdescriptivejustification.Table2?presentsanexampleofariskofbiastableforonetrialincludedinaCochranereviewoftherapeuticmonitoringofantiretroviralsforpeoplewithHIV.14Risksofbiasduetoblindingandincompleteoutcomedatawereassessedacrossalloutcomeswithineachincludedstudy,ratherthanseparatelyfordifferentoutcomesaswillbemoreappropriateinsomesituations.this,reviewauthorsmustdecidewhichdomainsaremostimportantinthecontextofthereview,ideallywhenwritingtheirprotocol.Forexample,forhighlysubjectiveoutcomessuchaspain,blindingofparticipantsiscritical.Thewaythatsummaryjudgmentsofriskofbiasarereachedshouldbeexplicitandshouldbeinformedbyempiricalevidenceofbiaswhenitexists,likelydirectionofbias,andlikelymagnitudeofbias.Table3?providesasuggestedframeworkformakingsummaryassessmentsoftheriskofbiasforimportantoutcomeswithinandacrosstrials.
