S1: How representative was the exposed cohort?
cs_s1
|
The document does not provide explicit information about how the exposed cohort was selected or whether it is representative of the average exposed person in the community. The study focuses on monitoring AMR in aquaculture settings and surrounding marine environments but does not describe the representativeness of the exposed cohort in terms of community or population characteristics.

S2: How was the non-exposed cohort selected?
cs_s2
|
The document does not explicitly describe how the non-exposed cohort was selected. While it mentions sampling sites and methods for exposed cohorts (aquaculture farms), there is no clear description of whether non-exposed cohorts were drawn from the same community or a different source.

no star awarded | |
|
S3: How was exposure ascertained?
cs_s3
|
The document does not explicitly describe how exposure (antimicrobial resistance risks) was ascertained. While the study mentions a year-long monitoring program and sample collection methods, there is no clear description of exposure measurement methods that would meet NOS criteria for secure records, structured interviews, or validated self-reports.

S4: Was the outcome of interest not present at the start of the study?
cs_s4
|
The document does not explicitly state whether the outcome of interest (antimicrobial resistance risks) was present at the start of the study. While the study describes a year-long monitoring program to evaluate AMR in aquaculture settings and surrounding marine environments, there is no clear indication that the outcome was absent at baseline. The study design is described as monitoring, but it does not specify whether this was a prospective cohort study with incident cases or if it included prevalent cases at baseline.

C1: Were the cohorts comparable on the basis of design or analysis, controlling for confounders?
cs_c1
|
The provided text does not contain any explicit information about how cohorts were controlled for confounders in the design or analysis. There is no mention of statistical adjustments, matching procedures, or any other methods to ensure comparability between cohorts.

O1: How was the outcome assessed?
cs_o1
|
The document does not explicitly describe the method of outcome assessment for antimicrobial resistance (AMR) risks. While it mentions various analytical techniques (e.g., PCR for ARGs, MAR index for ARB), there is no clear statement about whether outcome assessors were independent/blinded, whether record linkage was used, or whether self-reporting was validated. The absence of explicit methodological details about outcome assessment prevents awarding a star for this criterion.

|
O2: Was the follow-up long enough for outcomes to occur?
cs_o2
|
The study explicitly states a year-long monitoring program was implemented, which is clearly sufficient duration for observing antimicrobial resistance outcomes in coastal waters and aquaculture systems. The follow-up duration is both clearly stated and appropriate for the outcome of interest.
|
star awarded | |
|
O3: Was the follow-up adequate (i.e., completeness)?
cs_o3
|
The document provides no explicit information about follow-up rates, completeness of follow-up, or characteristics of subjects lost to follow-up. Without any mention of these critical elements, we cannot determine if follow-up was adequate according to NOS criteria.
