systematic review
The systematic review or meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and evidence-based practice guidelines are considered to be the strongest level of evidence on which to guide practice decisions.
What are the types of systematic errors?
Systematic errors may be of four kinds:
- Instrumental. For example, a poorly calibrated instrument such as a thermometer that reads 102 oC when immersed in boiling water and 2 oC when immersed in ice water at atmospheric pressure.
- Observational. For example, parallax in reading a meter scale.
- Environmental.
- Theoretical.
