From: Health related quality of life utility weights for economic evaluation through different stages of chronic kidney disease: a systematic literature review

1

Study meets all HTA selection criteria and has no apparent sources of significant bias

3

Study does not meet HTA selection criteria (e.g. not a population representative of the CKD population)
