Abstract
Healthcare is receiving many improvements from real world evidence. The advances in data management and machine learning models are driving better resources to support decision making. One of the most common techniques to develop recommendations and guidelines to physicians is through systematic reviews. To evaluate the quality of the evidence, among other methods, the researchers uses the Risk of Bias Assessment. Besides, that method is widely used and provides good results it has been done manually by researchers. This work provides the MCRB a multiclassifier tool for the risk of bias assessment using machine learning techniques. The software was tested with four machine learning models: Logistic Regression, SVM, Naive Bayes, and XGBoost. The results show that is quite possible to classify well the seven dimensions of the problem with a macro average AUC Score of 75%
