Non-randomised studies (NRSs) offer valuable insights when randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are not feasible. Applying CONSORT reporting standards to NRSs can improve transparency and reduce bias in research findings.

Area of Science:

  • Epidemiology
  • Clinical Research Methodology

Background:

  • Non-randomised studies (NRSs) are crucial for evaluating interventions not amenable to randomized controlled trials (RCTs).
  • NRSs are inherently more susceptible to various biases, including selection, performance, detection, and attrition bias.
  • The Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) statement enhances the quality and transparency of RCT reporting.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To adapt and apply the CONSORT reporting criteria to cohort studies.
  • To identify challenges in applying CONSORT criteria to non-randomised study designs.
  • To improve the reporting quality of cohort studies for better bias assessment.

Main Methods:

  • Reviewing the rationale behind existing CONSORT criteria for RCTs.
  • Evaluating the applicability of CONSORT criteria to cohort study reporting.

  • Identifying specific reporting elements that require modification for cohort studies.

    • Main Results:

    • Many CONSORT criteria are directly applicable to cohort studies without modification.
    • Specific challenges arise in reporting treatment descriptions, allocation methods, and prognostic factors for cohort studies.
    • Adapting criteria for adverse events, long-term outcomes, and pre-specified analysis plans is necessary for cohort studies.

    Conclusions:

    • Adapting CONSORT guidelines can significantly enhance the reporting quality and reduce bias in cohort studies.
    • Standardized reporting for NRSs is essential for robust scientific appraisal.
    • Further development is needed to address unique challenges in reporting non-randomised evidence.
