Tips for Effective Criteria:

Be Specific: Use precise terms (e.g., "patients aged 18-65" instead of "adults").
Be Clear: Use bullet points or short phrases. Define ambiguous terms if necessary.
Focus on Abstract: Write criteria based on information typically found in an abstract.
Be Consistent: Avoid contradictory statements between inclusion and exclusion fields.
