PEDro scale (partitioned): Rating sheet

The PEDro scale (partitioned) is used for rating the presence or absence of 8 internal validity
criteria and 2 statistical reporting criteria relevant to randomised controlled trials in the OTseeker
database www.otseeker.com It is an adaptation of the PEDro scale www.pedro.org.au and may
be copied with acknowledgement of both websites.
Please see the Guidelines and Explanations document for more information about each criterion.
If on a literal reading of the trial report it is possible that a criterion was not satisfied or reported,
that criterion receives a ‘No’.

Please note: The best interpretation of this information is to consider the potential impact
that the presence or absence of each of these criteria might have on the trial, rather than
the number of criteria met.
