Administrative data

Endpoint:
fertility, other
Remarks:
based on test type
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
other information
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: see 'Remark'
Remarks:
A reliable secondary source, summarising Candesartan properties, was used. However the primary sources were not revisited in order to verify their contents; for this reason reliability score 2 was used; it covers the most updated literature on the substance.
