Metodisk kvalitetsvurdering:

Denne systematiske oversikten er tilsynelatende utarbeidet på en god måte og forfatterne er i stor grad tydelig på metoden de har brukt for å utarbeide oversikten. Metodologi har vært et kriterium for inklusjon i studien, men omtales ikke noe videre i analysen. Resultatene fra de inkluderte studiene beskrives i en kortfattet diskusjonsdel.
