■观察和试验文献中报告的适当方法对于解释和实施至关重要。
■评估皮肤病学文献中报告依从性的方法,并将其与内科(IM)文献进行比较。
■我们对2014-2018年间发表的随机选择的皮肤病学和IM手稿进行了横断面审查。从PubMed检索观察和试验文章。主要结果是与STROBE或CONSORT方法相关的检查表项目(方法报告得分,MRS)。次要结果包括方法段长度(MSL)与MRS之间的关系。我们还将这些与IM文献进行了比较。MRS和MSL按文章总长度进行比较,清单类型,字段,journal,研究主题,和资金来源。使用单变量和多变量线性回归评估比较。
■我们确定了389篇文章(皮肤病学172篇和IM217篇)。在皮肤病学中,我们确定了83项临床试验和89项观察性研究.平均MRS为61.4%。MSL增加一字对应于MRS增加0.02%(β=0.02,95%CI0.01-0.03)。皮肤病学文献中的平均MRS比IM低12.8%(β=-12.8%,-15.6-[-9.91])平均皮肤病学MSL短345个字(β=-345,-413-[-277])。JAMA皮肤病学的研究,皮肤病学调查杂志,和英国皮肤病学杂志,在政府资助下,有补充方法的平均MRS较高。
■皮肤科的方法报告质量较低。观察到MRS和MSL之间的弱关系。这些数据支持提高研究人员对方法报告的重视,编辑人员,和同行评审员更严格执行检查表报告。
UNASSIGNED: Adequate methods reporting in observational and trial literature is critical to interpretation and implementation.
UNASSIGNED: Evaluate methodology reporting adherence in the dermatology literature and compare this to internal medicine (IM) literature.
UNASSIGNED: We performed a cross-sectional review of randomly-selected dermatology and IM manuscripts published between 2014-2018. Observational and trial articles were retrieved from PubMed. The primary outcome was percent adherence to STROBE or
CONSORT methods-related checklist items (methods reporting score, MRS). Secondary outcomes included the relationship between methods section length (MSL) and MRS. We additionally compared these with IM literature. MRS and MSL were compared by overall article length, checklist type, field, journal, study topic, and funding source. Comparisons were assessed using univariable and multivariable linear regression.
UNASSIGNED: We identified 389 articles (172 dermatology and 217 IM). Within dermatology, we identified 83 clinical trials and 89 observational studies. Mean MRS was 61.4 percent. A one word increase in MSL corresponded to a 0.02 percent increase MRS (β=0.02, 95% CI 0.01-0.03). Mean MRS was 12.8 percent lower in the dermatology literature compared with IM (β=-12.8%, -15.6-[-9.91]). Mean dermatology MSL was 345 words shorter (β=-345, -413-[-277]). Studies from JAMA Dermatology, Journal of Investigative Dermatology, and British Journal of Dermatology, with government funding, and having supplemental methods had higher mean MRS\'s.
UNASSIGNED: Methods reporting quality was low in dermatology. A weak relationship between MRS and MSL was observed. These data support enhancing researcher emphasis on methods reporting, editorial staff, and peer reviewers that more strictly enforce checklist reporting.
