Health state/outcome (categories of values and preferences) | Estimates of utilities | Certainty in evidence | Interpretation of findings |
---|---|---|---|
No. of participants/studies | |||
Pregnancy-related DVT (Bates et al24) | VAS: 46 (IQR, 30-65) | ⊕⊕○○ Low certainty due to inconsistency and imprecision*,† |
Women might possibly find pregnancy-related DVT having an important impact on their lives. There is likely an important variability for this assessment. |
123 participants from 1 study based on VAS | |||
Pregnancy-related PE (Bates et al24) | VAS: 30 (IQR, 15-50) | ⊕⊕○○ Low certainty due to inconsistency and imprecision*,† |
Most women might possibly find pregnancy-related PE having an important impact on their lives. There is likely an important variability for this assessment. |
123 participants from 1 study based on VAS | |||
Obstetric bleeding (Bates et al24) | VAS: 30 (IQR, 15-50) | ⊕⊕○○ Low certainty due to inconsistency and imprecision*,† |
Most women might possibly find obstetric bleeding having an important impact on their lives. There is likely an important variability. |
123 participants from 1 study based on VAS | |||
Treatment with LMWH (Bates et al24) | Visual analog scale: 83 (IQR, 70-90) | ⊕⊕⊕○ Moderate certainty due to imprecision† |
Women may probably find treatment with LMWH having a small impact on their lives. There is some variability for this assessment. |
123 participants from 1 study based on VAS |
Moderate certainty in evidence: We are moderately confident in the effect estimate; the true effect is likely to be close to the estimate of the effect, but there is a possibility that it is substantially different. Low certainty in evidence: Our confidence in the effect estimate is limited; the true effect may be substantially different from the estimate of the effect.
IQR, interquartile range; VAS, visual analog scale.
Inconsistency due to important variability.
Imprecision due to small sample size.
