Dear Meryl
I organise the Scottish Extended Course on EBP and, as part of that,
provide participants with a checklist for apprasing various types of study
design. The checklists themselves are derived from the JAMA checklists and
from CASP. We have now used these in many teaching sessions. The checklists
are available to download in pdf format and can be found at
http://www.gla.ac.uk/departments/generalpractice/ca_check.htm
Hope this is helpful.
Regards
Kate.

Subject: Critical appraisal of diagnostic studies
Hi Everyone,
Does anyone know of any critical appraisal checklists that could be used
for assessing the quality of studies related to
diagnosis/assessment/screening. Sacketts book (2000 edition.), Evidence
based medicine, How to practice and teach EBM lists a series of questions
that should be considered when reviewing theses types of studies (pp 67 -
93), but has anyone used a checklist for this?
Thanks
