Pilot and feasibility studies are not reported completely as per reporting guidelines in fields of study such as nephrology and psychiatric. The reporting completeness of these types of studies in surgery has never been examined.

We found that only approximately half of the items in the reporting guideline checklist were routinely reported. This proportion of items reported has not improved since the publication of the reporting guideline checklist. Resear ..read more

They include information and aggregate data that reach well beyond that which may be accommodated within a word-count limited journal report. As concerns around the limitations of journal reports of clinical research have increased, CSRs have been seen as a ‘source of truth’ in relation to the reporting of conduct and results of clinical trials of pharmaceutical agents. Indeed, many international bodies, such as the Institute for Quality and Efficiency in Health Care (Institut für ..read more

One of the most critical issues to manage when conducting an overview is the overlap of data across the primary studies included in the SRs ..read more
