Abstract:
This paper introduced the Revised Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool RoB2.0 for cluster-randomized control trials (CRCT) and compared RoB2.0 of CRCT with individually randomized, parallel group trials, and illustrated the application of RoB2.0 for CRCT in a published CRCT. Special signal questions were designed for CRCT according to its specialty that different from individually randomized, parallel group trials in RoB2.0 and also providing information on risk of bias about CRCT in systematic reviews for the synthesis of evidence.
