Question The article that I am using for this assignment is: A validated calculatorto estimate risk of cesarean after an induction of labor with an unfavorable cervix.  APPENDIX F Appraisal Guide: Findings of a Quantitative Study  Synopsis -What was the purpose of the study (research questions, purposes, and hypotheses)?  -How was the sample obtained? -What inclusion or exclusion criteria were used? -Who from the sample actually participated or contributed data (demographic or clinical profile and dropout rate)? -What methods were used to collect data (e.g., sequence, timing, types of data, and measures)? -Was an intervention tested?    Yes       No  -How was the sample size determined?  – Were patients randomly assigned to treatment groups? -What are the main findings of the study?      Credibility -Is the study published in a source that required peer review?                                                                                                                                                       Yes      No      Not Clear   -Was the design used appropriate to the research question?                                                                         Yes      No     Not Clear        3. *Did the data obtained and the analysis conducted answer the research question?                                       Yes      No     Not Clear        4. Were the measuring instruments reliable and valid?                                                                                                                                                                                Yes      No      Not Clear          5.  *Were important extraneous variables and bias controlled?                                                                                                                                                                  Yes      No      Not Clear        6. *Was the study free of extraneous variables introduced by how, when, and where the study was done?                                                         Yes      No     Not Clear         7. *If an intervention was tested, answer the following five questions:        8. Were participants randomly assigned to groups and were the two groups similar at the start (before the intervention)?                                                            Yes      No      Not Clear        9. Were the interventions well defined and consistently delivered?                                                                                                                                                            Yes      No     Not Clear       10. Were the groups treated equally other than the difference in interventions?                                                                                                                                     Yes      No     Not Clear       11. If no difference was found, was the sample size large enough to detect a difference if one existed?                                                                                            Yes     No      Not Clear       12. If a difference was found, are you confident it was due to the intervention?                                                                                                                                      Yes     No      Not Clear       13. Are the findings consistent with findings from other studies?                                                                                                                                                               Yes      No              Not Clear  ARE THE FINDINGS CREDIBLE?                    All     Some      No Clinical Significance -Note any difference in means, r2s, or measures of clinical effects (ABI, NNT, RR, OR) -*Is the target population clearly described?         Yes      No     Not Clear        3. *Is the frequency, association, or treatment effect impressive enough for you to be confident that the finding would make a clinical difference if                  used as the basis for care?                                                               Yes      No     Not Clear  ARE THE FINDINGS CLINICALLY SIGNIFICANT?                                                                                                                                                                                                            All     Some      No   *= Important criteria     Health Science Science Nursing NURS MISC Share QuestionEmailCopy link Comments (0)
