Selection of instruments for future research will therefore require careful evaluation of study design and objectives, population characteristics, the presence of disease-related factors, and outcomes of interest.
The method was, at that time, an important step toward improved evaluation of study reliability, but lately it has been criticized for lack of detail and guidance, and for not ensuring sufficient consistency among risk assessors.
