Ref. | Case number | Selection | Ascertainment | Causality | Reporting | Quality assessment | ||||
Q1 | Q2 | Q3 | Q4 | Q5 | Q6 | Q7 | Q8 | |||
Did the patient(s) represent the whole case(s) of the medical center? | Was the exposure adequately ascertained? | Was the outcome adequately acertained? | Were other alternative causes that may explain the observation ruled out? | Was there a response to the specific treatment for tuberculosis? | Was there a histological confirmation of the diagnosis? | Was follow-up long enough for outcomes to occur? | Is the case(s) described with sufficient details to allow other investigators to replicate the research or to allow practitioners make inferences related to their own practice? | |||
