Which of the following may be subject to author bias?

Practice guidelines
Randomized control trials
Case reports and editorials
Systematic reviews

The correct answer is: Case reports and editorials

Author bias can potentially occur in any type of written publication, but it is most commonly seen in case reports and editorials. These types of articles include the author's personal opinions and experiences, which may influence their interpretation of the information presented. On the other hand, practice guidelines, randomized control trials, and systematic reviews typically involve a more objective and evidence-based approach, reducing the likelihood of author bias.
