Hi all,
Mathematical models seem to becoming more prevalent in published papers.
While they can provide useful support for evidence-based decisions, it is
necessary to undertake an assessment of methodological quality before using
them to change policy or practice.
Is there a tool for critical appraisal of modelling studies, similar to
those which might be used for more established study types (i.e. CASP etc)?
Thanks in advance
