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
