Risk of bias | ||
Bias | Authors' judgement | Support for judgement |
Random sequence generation (selection bias) | Unclear risk | "Finally, a sample of 300 women was chosen by simple random sampling without replacement"‐ doesn't elaborate on method. Also claims to be a longitudinal, observational study but also randomised |
Allocation concealment (selection bias) | Unclear risk | Doesn't explain allocation concealment method |
Blinding (performance bias and detection bias) All outcomes | Unclear risk | States that it is double‐blinded but doesn't elaborate how/who |
Incomplete outcome data (attrition bias) All outcomes | Unclear risk | Doesn't appear to refer to loss to follow‐up etc |
Selective reporting (reporting bias) | Unclear risk | Doesn't state planned outcomes in methods to check in results |
Other bias | Unclear risk | Hard to assess as paper is in Spanish |
