I've been looking around for a risk of bias assessment tool specifically made for observational studies, mouse references suggest using Cochrane's ROBINS but it doesn't seem sound enough to use for observational studies(esp since the tool itself states it's for non-randomized interventions) I'm also not comfortable with the comparability implication of using it with observational studies.
Do you have any other tools to suggest or if you suggest using ROBINS (or perhaps a modified version?)
Thank you
