Notes | ||
Risk of bias | ||
Bias | Authors' judgement | Support for judgement |
Random sequence generation (selection bias) | Low risk | Computer generated |
Allocation concealment (selection bias) | Low risk | Externally managed, sealed envelopes opened in order; completed by independent person |
Blinding of participants and personnel (performance bias) All outcomes | High risk | Participants were not blinded |
Blinding of outcome assessment (detection bias) All outcomes | Unclear risk | Uncertain if researchers or assessors were blind to allocated treatment |
Incomplete outcome data (attrition bias) All outcomes | Unclear risk | Nothing apparent but unclear in the report Exclusions post randomisation: 3 |
Selective reporting (reporting bias) | Low risk | Symptomatic culture proven UTI is most appropriate outcome |
Other bias | Unclear risk | Unclear how the 225 patients were recruited, may be some selection bias Source of funding: NS |
