Number of systematic reviews included | 175 |
Summary of Findings | Missing outcome data were present in at least one included study in 175 systematic reviews. Of these 175 systematic reviews, 147 (84%) accounted for missing outcome data by considering a relevant primary or secondary outcome (e.g., dropout). However consideration of implications of missing outcome data and sensitivity analyses to account for attrition were much lower. |
