| Summary of Findings | The letter to the editor highlighting concerns over the conduct of one systematic review and meta-analysis of prediction models for musculoskeletal injury published in 2020. These include, the reported inappropriate use of the Newcastle Ottawa Scale for quality assessment of the included prediction model studies; the absence of the extraction or reporting on missing data and relevant missing data mechanisms; and other queries regarding the statistical synthesis. |
