Das Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE-) Statement: Leitlinien für das Berichten von Beobachtungsstudien

Zusammenfassung: Ein Großteil der biomedizinischen Forschung ist beobachtend, und die Qualität der veröffentlichten Berichte über diese Forschung ist oft unzureichend. Dies behindert die Beurteilung der Stärken und Schwächen einer Studie und ihrer Übertragbarkeit. Die Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE-) Initiative hat Empfehlungen entwickelt, was in einem akkuraten und vollständigen Bericht einer Beobachtungsstudie enthalten sein sollte. Die Empfehlungen wurden von uns so definiert, dass sie 3Hauptstudientypen abdecken: Kohorten-, Fallkontroll- und Querschnittsstudien. Im September 2004 veranstalteten wir einen zweitägigen Workshop mit Methodikern, Forschern und Herausgebern wissenschaftlicher Zeitschriften, um eine Checkliste zu entwerfen. Anschließend wurde der Entwurf bei mehreren Treffen der Koordinierungsgruppe und nach E-Mail-Diskussionen mit der erweiterten STROBE-Gruppe revidiert und dabei empirische Evidenz und methodologische Aspekte berücksichtigt. Das Ergebnis des Workshops und des anschließenden iterativen Prozesses aus Beratung und Revision war eine Checkliste von 22Punkten (STROBE-Statement), die sich auf die Bereiche Titel, Abstract, Einleitung, Methoden, Ergebnisse und Diskussion eines Artikels beziehen. 18 der Punkte sind relevant für alle 3Studiendesigns, während 4 der Punkte spezifisch für Kohorten-, Fallkontroll- und Querschnittsstudien sind. Ein ausführlicher Begleitartikel (Explanation and Elaboration) wurde separat veröffentlicht und ist auf den Webseiten von PLoS Medicine, Annals of Internal Medicine und Epidemiology frei zugänglich. Wir hoffen, dass das STROBE-Statement dazu beitragen kann, dass Beobachtungsstudien besser berichtet werde

CONSORT Harms 2022 statement, explanation, and elaboration: updated guideline for the reporting of harms in randomized trials.

Randomized controlled trials remain the reference standard for healthcare research on effects of interventions, and the need to report both benefits and harms is essential. The Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (the main CONSORT) statement includes one item on reporting harms (i.e., all important harms or unintended effects in each group). In 2004, the CONSORT group developed the CONSORT Harms extension; however, it has not been consistently applied and needs to be updated. Here, we describe CONSORT Harms 2022, which replaces the CONSORT Harms 2004 checklist, and shows how CONSORT Harms 2022 items could be incorporated into the main CONSORT checklist. Thirteen items from the main CONSORT were modified to improve harms reporting. Three new items were added. In this article, we describe CONSORT Harms 2022 and how it was integrated into the main CONSORT checklist and elaborate on each item relevant to complete reporting of harms in randomized controlled trials. Until future work from the CONSORT group produces an updated checklist, authors, journal reviewers, and editors of randomized controlled trials should use the integrated checklist presented in this paper

The Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) Statement: Guidelines for reporting of observational studies

Much of biomedical research is observational. The reporting of such research is often inadequate, which hampers the assessment of its strengths and weaknesses and of a study's generalizability. The Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) Initiative developed recommendations on what should be included in an accurate and complete report of an observational study. We defined the scope of the recommendations to cover three main study designs: cohort, case-control, and cross-sectional studies. We convened a 2-day workshop in September 2004, with methodologists, researchers, and journal editors to draft a checklist of items. This list was subsequently revised during several meetings of the coordinating group and in e-mail discussions with the larger group of STROBE contributors, taking into account empirical evidence and methodological considerations. The workshop and the subsequent iterative process of consultation and revision resulted in a checklist of 22 items (the STROBE Statement) that relate to the title, abstract, introduction, methods, results, and discussion sections of articles. Eighteen items are common to all three study designs and four are specific for cohort, case-control, or cross-sectional studies. A detailed "Explanation and Elaboration" document is published separately and is freely available on the web sites of PLoS Medicine, Annals of Internal Medicine, and Epidemiology. We hope that the STROBE Statement will contribute to improving the quality of reporting of observational studies. © 2008 Springer Medizin Verlag
