Selection bias | Were included dogs representative for the population of dogs? |
Information bias | Were the criteria for classification of dogs in different groups defined and reported? |
Performance bias | Were the researchers blinded from knowledge about the animals/groups when processing data? |
Detection bias | Was the endpoint detectable? (e.g., was CRP measured at relevant time-points?) |
Attrition bias | Were exclusion criteria defined and patients lost to follow up reported? |
Reporting bias | Were reports free of suggestions of selective outcome reporting? |
Other bias | Was the study apparently free of other problems that could result in high risk of bias? |
