Note: Selection; 1) Representativeness of the exposed cohort, 2) Selection of the non-exposed cohort, 3) Ascertain exposure, 4) Demonstration that outcome of interest was not present at the start of the study; Comparability; 5) Comparability of cohorts based on the design or analysis controlled for confounders; Outcome: 6) Assessment of outcome, 7) Was follow-up long enough for outcomes to occur, 8) Adequacy of follow-up of cohorts.
∗Newcastle-Ottawa Scale contains 8 items within 3 domain and the total maximum score is 9. A study with score from 7-9, has high quality, 4-6, high risk, and 0-3 very high risk of bias.
