Risk of bias | ||
Bias | Authors' judgement | Support for judgement |
Random sequence generation (selection bias) | Low risk | Quote: “they were assigned using a table of random numbers, to receive either music (music group) or no music (control group)" |
Allocation concealment (selection bias) | Unclear risk | Not reported |
Blinding of participants and personnel (performance bias) All outcomes | Low risk | Blinding of participants was not possible. Personnel were blinded |
Blinding of outcome assessment (detection bias) Subjective outcomes | Low risk | This study did not address any subjective outcomes |
Blinding of outcome assessment (detection bias) Objective outcomes | Low risk | The outcome assessors were blinded |
Incomplete outcome data (attrition bias) All outcomes | Low risk | Attrition rate: 7 %(n = 4). Three patients from the music group and one patient from the control group were excluded from the study because of technical problems related to the music player. |
Selective reporting (reporting bias) | Low risk | No indication of selective reporting |
Other bias | Low risk | No indication of other biases |
