However , there was likely to be little bias owing to the exclusion criteria used (might have ledto selection bias
Study Limitations One limitation in the design of the present study ... a non - randomized studymay have resultedin selection bias
First , this was a retrospective study with a relatively small cohort of patients at a single center ,potentially resultingin selection bias
limitations in the form that it was a single center - based studycould resultin selection bias
One limitation in the design of the present study ... a non - randomized studymay have resultedin selection bias
in other words , the respondents who chose to participate in the survey may be different from the overall population in a way that shifts the results of the surveycan leadto selection bias
Selection of patients from this population ... likelyto causeselection bias
One limitation was that we enrolled a small number of patients from a single center and performed retrospective analysiscould leadto selection bias
LIMITATIONS A major limitation of the study was convenience sampling of the subjectsleadingto selection bias
random sampling ... a representative sample , non - response and volunteer biasleadingto selection bias
when the regression analysis conditions on a common effect of exposure and outcomemay causeselection bias
the major limitation of this study ... its retrospective designcontributesto selection bias
the study participants ... random samplingcould leadto selection bias
One initial difference between the treatment and control schoolswould leadto selection bias
treatment choices ... units ( i.e. , the factors under study , such as persons , organizations , or anything else in the studyleadsto the selection bias
Therefore , because participants were not randomized the sample may not be representative of the populationcontributingto selection bias
convenience or limited sampling , ... ; non - representative sample and weak adaptation of instrument leading to social desirability biascould leadto selection bias
Any model selection methodcan causeselection bias

by incomplete and potentially different participation rates of case and control volunteers(passive) caused byselection bias
Furthermore , the recruitment methods of cases and controls were differentmay have causedselection bias
Over time , the number of study participants decreasedmay have ledto selection bias
