These findings must be interpreted in the context of the methodological weaknesses of this study, particularly for the heterogeneity of SRQs in the limited number of included studies.
We used Ferrera's typology because it accounts for theoretical and methodological weaknesses of previous classifications and it categorizes countries based on different aspects of the welfare provision, and therefore various recent studies have used it to analyse variations in population health and health inequalities 12, 27, 29, 32, 34, 35, 55.
Methodological weaknesses of studies evaluating the efficacy of percutaneous methods preclude definitive conclusions.
Finally, methodological weaknesses of the framework can be assessed.
The benefits shown in these trials were less dramatic than hoped for, however the studies have been criticised for methodological weaknesses, unmitigated placebo effect, and a high rate of surgical complications, which may have obscured the full beneficial effect of ONS.
This is most relevant to our 'high risk' label, which was awarded not only for methodological weaknesses but also where insufficient information was provided to make a determination about methodological quality.
This lack of consistency in research findings may be due in part to methodological weaknesses in existing studies, for example, use of an inappropriate study design and inadequate consideration of confounding.
Controlling for methodological weaknesses, we found evidence that most people prefer to die at home.
[5] (The review compiled for this toolkit also cites examples of up to 70% reduction in recidivism although, again, care must be taken to allow for methodological weaknesses in some studies).
Furthermore, to compensate for methodological weaknesses which arose from the lack of consideration of background differences between pre- and post-characteristics, confounding factor (such as marital status and housing tenure -adjusted DIDs were implementenure -adjustedvity analysis (see supplementary DIDs).
