Although this gives important information on the status on global forest resources; inconsistencies in methods and definitions, differences in drivers of forest transitions, and varying degrees of development between and within nations, raise questions on the reliability of forest statistics while highlighting the importance of remote sensing of forest resources [4, 7 11].
Given inconsistencies in methods and target populations, readers should be careful when interpreting and comparing the results of economic analyses, being sure to note the perspective, population size, and country of analysis, among other analysis methods and features of the intervention.
Although this gives important information on the status on global forest resources; inconsistencies in methods and definitions, differences in drivers of forest transitions, and varying degrees of development between and within nations, raise questions on the reliability of forest statistics while highlighting the importance of remote sensing of forest resources [ 4, 7- 11].
Data collection is also irregular, with many inconsistencies in method and delivery.
Twenty-nine arthates that could not be included in the meta-analysis, primarily due to inconsistencies in method of measurement of the studied risk factor or because only 1 study had reported a significant result on a given factor, are described and shown (Supplementary Table 3).
Reported costs differ considerably due to variations in injury type and the inconsistency in study methods.
Studies of FAS demonstrate inconsistency in diagnostic methods and a failure to diagnose the disorder [ 8, 9], as found elsewhere [ 10, 11].
The inconsistency in the methods used in evaluation studies makes it difficult to compare and summarise the predictive ability of risk scores.
However, this and other reviews have emphasized the substantial inconsistency in the methods of the published studies, with confounding and exposure misclassification being identified as limitations of particular concern [ 7- 18].
