The number of randomized controlled trials in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery increased significantly from 1990 to 2010. While reporting quality showed a positive trend, adherence to reporting guidelines is recommended for further improvement.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Research Methodology
  • Evidence-Based Medicine
  • Plastic Surgery

Background:

  • Growing emphasis on evidence-based medicine in medical literature.
  • Analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) reporting quality in a leading plastic surgery journal.
  • Study period spans 21 years, from 1990 to 2010.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To critically evaluate the quality of reporting for randomized controlled trials published in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.
  • To identify trends in the quantity and quality of RCT reporting over two decades.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive hand search of all journal issues from 1990 to 2010.
  • Identification of all published randomized controlled trials using the Cochrane decision tree.
  • Assessment of reporting quality using a modified checklist based on the Consolidated Standard of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) Statement.

Quantification of Strain in a Porcine Model of Skin Expansion Using Multi-View Stereo and Isogeometric Kinematics

Published on: April 16, 2017

Main Results:

  • Only 2.23% (159 out of 7121) of original articles were identified as RCTs.
  • A statistically significant increase in the absolute number of published RCTs was observed over the study period (p < 0.0001).
  • The median quality of RCT reporting was rated as "fair," with a non-significant trend towards improvement over time (p = 0.127).

Conclusions:

  • A positive trend exists regarding the increased publication of randomized controlled trials in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.
  • Adherence to established reporting guidelines, such as CONSORT, is crucial for enhancing the quality of published research.
  • Integrating reporting quality information alongside evidence levels could aid critical appraisal by readers.
