Second, high degree of heterogeneity was a concern. However, this should be 284 expected in any meta-analysis due to the variability in methodology and study samples and we 285 used heterogeneity to explore covariates in meta-regression analyses. 18, 20 Third, funnel plots of 286 all three meta-analyses indicating substantial publication bias, limiting the generalizability of 287 uncorrected random-effects meta-analyses. Finally, the protocol was not pre-registered. Use of a 288 systematic search strategy; use of random-effects meta-analyses and meta-regression analyses 289 assuming high heterogeneity of effect-sizes; exploring the etiology of heterogeneity in meta-290 regression analyses, which also identified risk factors of morbidity and mortality; exploring the 291 validity of our findings in sensitivity analyses; and statistically correcting for publication / 292 underreporting bias are notable strengths of our systematic review and meta-analysis.
