This document provides a 4-step process for critically appraising studies: 1) Identify the study question, population, intervention, comparison, and outcomes. 2) Assess internal validity by evaluating recruitment, randomization, equal co-interventions, and blinding. 3) Determine what the results mean for internal validity and conclusions. 4) Consider evidence-based medicine principles of valid results, clinical expertise, and patient values/circumstances when evaluating the study. Step 2 can alternatively involve answering 9 questions from the CAW critical appraisal tool or 13 questions from the BMJ tool to assess internal validity.

Population / problem : ...........................................................
Intervention : ........................................................... Comparison : ........................................................... Outcome(s) : ........................................................... Study design : ........................................................... • Step 2 : How well was the study done ? (internal validity) Recruitment –were the subjects representative? Allocation – Was the allocation randomised and concealed ? Maintenance-Did the groups have the equal co-interventions...? Measurement-were the subjects and assessors kept “ blind” to which treatment was being received and / or were the measure objective ?
Valid : best research evidence Important : clinical expertise Applicable : patient values, patient circumstances • Step 2 bisa diganti dengan 1. Menjawab 9 pertanyaan dari Critical Appraisal 1 (CAW) atau 2. Menjawab 13 pertanyaan dari critical Appraisal 1 (BMJ)
