This paper reviews the CONSORT extension for cluster randomized trials. It highlights unique reporting considerations for trials where groups, not individuals, are randomized.

Area of Science:

  • Clinical Trials Methodology
  • Biostatistics
  • Epidemiology

Context:

  • Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) require adequate reporting for validity.
  • The CONSORT statement provides guidelines for reporting parallel-group RCTs.
  • Cluster randomized trials (CRTs) differ from individual RCTs due to group-level randomization.

Purpose:

  • To review the CONSORT extension specifically designed for cluster randomized trials.
  • To outline the unique reporting challenges and considerations in CRTs.
  • To ensure comprehensive and accurate reporting of CRT findings.

Summary:

  • The CONSORT statement enhances the reporting of RCTs.
  • An extension addresses specific needs for cluster randomized trials.
