Explicación de la calificación
This is a well-conducted retrospective study with a large sample size, examining a clinically relevant topic. Although there are inherent limitations due to its retrospective nature and potential confounders, the statistical methods employed are appropriate and the findings are valuable. A prospective study would strengthen the causal claims and assess the real-world implications of prolactin elevation. The model convergence issues due to low sample sizes in some strata are a minor weakness.
