Adherence of trials of operative intervention to the CONSORT statement

چکیده
I read your article with interest. However, a sentence under the subheading ‘Cardiopulmonary exercise testing’ in the methods section (‘Two key measurements can be determined from these data, [oxygen uptake at peak exercise and anaerobic threshold], indicating the point at which anaerobic metabolism is inadequate to maintain high energy phosphate production [...]’) does not coincide with the principle of cardiopulmonary exercise testing. I think you mean ‘indicating the point at which aerobic metabolism is inadequate...’ (The word ‘anaerobic’ should be corrected to ‘aerobic’.)

Adherence to the CONSORT Statement in the Reporting of Randomized Controlled Trials on Pharmacological Interventions Published in Iranian Medical Journals
Background: Among manuscripts submitted to biomedical journals, randomized controlled trials (RCTs) form the backbone of evidence-based medicine. Hence, their protocol should be designed rigorously and their results should be reported clearly. To improve the quality of RCT reporting, researchers developed the CONSORT Statement in 1996 and updated it in 2010. This study was designed to assess th...
متن کاملAdherence of trials of operative intervention to the CONSORT statement extension for non-pharmacological treatments: a comparative before and after study
INTRODUCTION Use of the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) statement has been shown to improve the reporting of randomised controlled trials and it is endorsed by leading surgical journals. The CONSORT statement for non-pharmacological treatment (CONSORT-NPT) provides specific items to aid in the reporting of trials of operative intervention. This study compares the reporting...

Because of the probability of some bias in human intervention, non-standard clinical trials design produce unreal interventional results. For standardiz...
متن کاملPoor adherence of randomised trials in surgery to CONSORT guidelines for non-pharmacological treatments (NPT): a cross-sectional study
OBJECTIVE To systematically assess adherence of randomised trials in surgery to Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) guidelines for non-pharmacological treatments (NPT). Surgical trials are considered more difficult to design and execute than pharmacological trials. Furthermore, the original CONSORT statement does not address some aspects that are vital to the transparent report...
متن کاملKorean translation of the CONSORT 2010 Statement: updated guidelines for reporting parallel group randomized trials
The Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) 2010 Statement, updated in March 2010, includes a 25-item checklist and flow diagram. Adherence to this statement is a minimum requirement for the complete, clear, and transparent reporting of randomized trials. We translated the CONSORT 2010 Statement into Korean to promote the widespread adherence to CONSORT in South Korea and to facili...
متن کاملDescription of complex interventions: analysis of changes in reporting in randomised trials since 2002
BACKGROUND Inadequate description of non-pharmacological complex interventions in trial publications means that they cannot be replicated or assessed for generalisability. There are published guidelines on how to describe an intervention, such as those from the CONSORT Group. However, there have been few evaluations of whether intervention reporting is improving. METHODS We aimed to assess wh...
