Risk of bias table for interrupted time series studies
| Study | Was the intervention independent of other changes? | Was the shape of the intervention effect pre-specified? | Was the intervention unlikely to affect data collection? | Was knowledge of the allocated interventions adequately prevented during the study? | Were incomplete outcome data adequately addressed? | Was the study free from selective outcome reporting? | Was the study free from other risks of bias? |
