Comparison of risk-of-bias assessment approaches for selection of studies reporting prevalence for economic analyses by Jane E Harding, Richard Edlin, Matthew J Glasgow

“…The methodological quality of studies can inform the choice of prevalence figures but no single obvious candidate tool exists for assessing quality of the observational epidemiological studies for selecting prevalence estimates. We aimed to compare different tools to assess the risk of bias of studies reporting prevalence, and develop and compare possible numerical scoring systems using these tools to set a threshold for inclusion of reports of prevalence in an economic analysis of neonatal hypoglycaemia.Design Assessments of bias using two tools (Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) Checklist for Prevalence Studies and a modified version of Risk Of Bias In Non-randomised Studies-of Interventions (ROBINS-I)) were compared for 18 studies relevant to a single setting (neonatal hypoglycaemia). …”

Effects of Oblique Incidence of SV Waves on Nonlinear Seismic Response of a Lined Arched Tunnel by Dunyu Lyu, Sha Ma, Chu Yu, Congcong Liu, Xiaowei Wang, Buyun Yang, Ming Xiao

“…The numerical results reveal that (1) the oblique incidence of the seismic wave results in a larger seismic response; (2) the response amplitudes of the stress and displacement increase with the increase of incident angles and reaching the maximum in the case of 30° incident angle; (3) the damage extent increases with an increase in the incident angles, and the oblique incidence of the seismic wave is believed to increase the spatial difference of damage distribution.…”
