The risk of bias is defined as the risk of systematic error or a deviation from reporting the truth or an appropriate evidence

finding. It occurs when there is a systematic flaw or limitations in the study design or the conduct of the study. This article describes

different assessment tools and the types of study designs for which the tool is applicable along with the flow of how to avoid the

risk of bias.

In Brief

Page 4: Risk of bias assessment and different tools used to assess systematic review - Pubrica

A systematic review guideline will often determine the study design to answer the formulated question, and it is not enough in trusting the evidence of systematic review over observational studies.

There are several terms like quality assessment, critical appraisal, or internal validity, which are used for the evaluation of studies supported by the guideline.

In the risk of bias, the bias determines the factor that can affect the observations and findings of the study systematically and report it to be different from the actual conclusion.

Inadequate study design or the conduct of the study will give false findings which result in wasting time and resources, and missing opportunity for effective intervention.

Quality Assessment

Quality assessment or risk of bias assessment helps in regulating and establishing transparency of evidence synthesis and findings and it is often performed for each study in a review; thus the collected evidence eliminate bias in the outcomes.

The risk of bias assessment can be done by professionals who may be conducted by the guideline development group or requires a methodological expert or by experiences systematic review researchers. There are three types of bias they are,

Selection bias – Participant or Population comparability in a study.Performance bias – The influence of estimate effect.Reporting bias – Problems with measurements or classification of outcome.
