| *The basis for the assumed risk (e.g. the median control group risk across studies) is provided in footnotes. The corresponding risk (and its 95% CI) is based on the assumed risk in the comparison group and the relative effect of the intervention (and its 95% CI). Abbreviations: CI: confidence interval; RR: risk ratio; GRADE: Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation; THA: total hip arthroplasty. | ||||||
| GRADE Working Group grades of evidence High quality: further research is very unlikely to change our confidence in the estimate of effect. Moderate quality: further research is likely to have an important impact on our confidence in the estimate of effect and may change the estimate. Low quality: further research is very likely to have an important impact on our confidence in the estimate of effect and is likely to change the estimate. Very low quality: we are very uncertain about the estimate. | ||||||
1This outcome was not measured. 2Sequence generation and allocation procedure were not clearly reported. Therefore there was high risk of bias for selection bias. 3There was no blinding of assessors to group allocation. Therefore there was risk of detection bias. 4There was no blinding of participants or personnel. Therefore there was risk of performance bias. 5There was limited reporting of descriptive statistical data for outcomes. Therefore there was high risk of reporting bias.
