The Cochran Risk of Bias Tool was the most commonly used among the MQ/ROB measures (n=20; 22.99\%). Of these twenty studies, eighteen used an unmodified version while two used a modified version. The Jadad Scale was the second most commonly used among studies that assessed MQ/ROB with 20.69\% (n=17) using this scale. The Jadad Scale and the Cochran Risk of Bias Tool made up the majority of MQ/ROB measures used with 42.53\% using one of these two scales and only 3.45\% using a modified version. Other forms of MQ/ROB made up a large portion (n=10; 11.49\%) of the measures used by the systematic reviews. These measures included less commonly known scales (Detsky Score, Consolidated Health Economic Evaluation Reporting Standards statement [CHEERS], and Quality of Health Economic Studies [QHES] among others) and scales outlined in previously published studies (Egger et al, Long et al, and Chamlers et al). The Delphi List, the measure described by Sanderson et al, and QUADAS were each used 5 times (5.75\%) accounting for a total of 17.25\% of MQ/ROB measures. Downs and Black, CASP, QUADAS-2, GRADE, and the Newcastle-Ottawa scale were each used 4 times accounting for 23\% of the total. The remainder of MQ/ROB were used less frequently. Multiple studies used a combination of tools.  The various tools and scales, along with their percentage of use in reviews that assessed MQ/ROB, are provided in Table 1.
