P05.50. CONSORT extension for N-of-1 trials (CENT) guidelines
نویسندگان
چکیده
Purpose N-of-1 trials have been used in medicine to generate treatment information when evidence from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) is not available or applicable. Nof-1 study design maintains the methodological safeguards provided by RCTs (blinding, randomization and controls) yet avoids the disadvantages associated with large trials. A standardized method of reporting of N-of1 trials, such as the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT), would greatly improve the quality and consistency of trial reports in this area. The objective of this study was to develop a CONSORT Extension for N-of-1 Trials (CENT).
