Risk of bias | ||
Bias | Authors' judgement | Support for judgement |
Representativeness of the exposed cohort | Low risk | CD patients who underwent colorectal surgery |
Selection of the non exposed cohort | Low risk | Both groups obtained from the same hospitals and time period. Patients matched for age and gender |
Ascertainment of exposure | Low risk | Information obtained from prospective database |
Demonstration that outcome of interest was not present at start of study | Unclear risk | Information not provided |
Comparability of cohorts (Controlled for critical factor/other medications) | High risk | Did not control for other medications |
Comparability of cohorts (Controlled for additional factor) | Low risk | Controlled for age and gender |
Assessment of outcome | Low risk | Information obtained from prospective database |
Was follow‐up long enough for outcomes to occur | Low risk | 30 days |
Adequacy of follow up of cohorts | Unclear risk | Information not provided |
