  2. PICOTS Components When selecting study eligibility study criteria, it is important to keep the PICOTS components in mind. What does PICOTS stand for? • Personal, Interest, Comparison, Observation, Time, and Situation • Population, Intervention, Comparator, Outcome, Timing, and Setting • Public, Individual, Community, Organization, Time, and Society • None of the above

  3. Study Eligibility Criteria N > 30 could be an example of study eligibility criteria. • True • False

  4. When To Determine Study Eligibility Criteria Study eligibility criteria should be determined after the abstract review process is underway. • True • False

  5. Well-Constructed Study Eligibility Criteria Using well-constructed study eligibility criteria can help avoid which of the following? • Too much literature to feasibly review or disparate literature that cannot be compared • Too little literature • Inability to answer the intended question • Bias introduced through inclusion of inappropriate study designs or populations • All of the above

  6. Summary • To reduce bias in a comparative effectiveness review, choose the study eligibility criteria before performing the literature review. • Assess study goals. • Appraise analytic framework and key questions. • Tie the criteria to PICOTS (population, intervention, comparator, outcome, timing, and setting). • Study eligibility criteria can broaden or narrow the scope of the review. • When properly applied, study eligibility criteria will enhance applicability of the review.
