不同研究设计的报告指南目前可用于准确和透明地报告研究。有必要制定针对儿科牙科领域的补充指南项目。本研究旨在使用预定义的基于专家共识的Delphi流程,为儿科牙科(RAPID)指南的研究开发报告标准。
RAPID指南的制定是基于《健康研究报告指南开发者指南》。在对文献进行全面搜索之后,执行小组确定了儿科牙科的10个主题,并编制了每个主题下的项目清单草案。主题分类为:一般,口腔医学,病理学和放射学,有特殊医疗保健需求的儿童,镇静和医院牙科,行为指导,龋齿,预防性和恢复性牙科,纸浆疗法,创伤学,和截获性正畸.成立了RAPIDDelphi集团(RDG),由来自六大洲15个国家的69名成员组成。使用9分的李克特量表对项目进行评分。成绩达到7分及以上的项目,以至少70%的RDG成员为标志被纳入快速检查表项目。计算每个项目的加权平均得分。统计显著性设置为p<0.05,并且使用单向ANOVA来计算主题之间的加权平均得分的差异。
最终的RAPID清单由128个项目组成,这些项目由RDG成员在在线共识会议上最终确定和批准。对于单个项目,高分(7至9分)的百分比范围为69.57至100%。最终项目的总体加权平均得分范围为7.51至8.28(共9个),主题之间的差异具有统计学意义(p<0.05)。

Reporting
guidelines for different study designs are currently available to report studies with accuracy and transparency. There is a need to develop supplementary
guideline items that are specific to areas within Pediatric Dentistry. This study aims to develop Reporting stAndards for research in PedIatric Dentistry (RAPID) guidelines using a pre-defined expert
consensus-based Delphi process.
The development of the RAPID guidelines was based on the Guidance for Developers of Health Research Reporting
Guidelines. Following a comprehensive search of the literature, the Executive Group identified ten themes in Pediatric Dentistry and compiled a draft checklist of items under each theme. The themes were categorized as: General, Oral Medicine, Pathology and Radiology, Children with Special Health Care Needs, Sedation and Hospital Dentistry, Behavior Guidance, Dental Caries, Preventive and Restorative Dentistry, Pulp Therapy, Traumatology, and Interceptive Orthodontics. A RAPID Delphi Group (RDG) was formed comprising of 69 members from 15 countries across six continents. Items were scored using a 9-point rating Likert scale. Items achieving a score of seven and above, marked by at least 70% of RDG members were accepted into the RAPID checklist items. Weighted mean scores were calculated for each item. Statistical significance was set at p < 0.05 and one-way ANOVA was used to calculate the difference in the weighted mean scores between the themes.
The final RAPID checklist comprised of 128 items that were finalized and approved by the RDG members in the online
consensus meeting. The percentage for high scores (scores 7 to 9) ranged from 69.57 to 100% for individual items. The overall weighted mean score of the final items ranged from 7.51 to 8.28 (out of 9) and the difference was statistically significant between the themes (p < 0.05).
The RAPID statement provides guidance to researchers, authors, reviewers and editors, to ensure that all elements relevant to particular studies are adequately reported.
