Methodology reporting in three acute care journals: replication and reliability.

C G Brown, G D Kelen, M Moser

    Annals of Emergency Medicine
    |October 1, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary

    Researchers must improve methodology reporting in emergency and acute care medicine for study replication. A review found no significant differences in reporting completeness across three major journals.

    Area of Science:

    • Emergency Medicine
    • Acute Care Medicine
    • Clinical Trials

    Background:

    • Accurate and complete methodology reporting is crucial for scientific reproducibility and advancement in emergency and acute care medicine.
    • Incomplete reporting hinders critical examination, replication, and expansion of research findings.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the completeness of methodology reporting in three leading acute care journals: Annals of Emergency Medicine, Critical Care Medicine, and Journal of Trauma.
    • To assess the adherence to reporting standards necessary for clinical trial replication.

    Main Methods:

    • Identified 38 essential criteria for clinical trial replication, categorized into ten domains.
    • Reviewed 45 prospective, interventional, controlled trials published between January 1980 and June 1983 across the three journals.

  • Utilized a two-reviewer system with a third adjudicator to assess the clarity of reported criteria.

    • Main Results:

    • The mean proportion of clearly reported methodological items was 0.39 (±0.10) for Annals of Emergency Medicine, 0.33 (±0.14) for Journal of Trauma, and 0.32 (±0.09) for Critical Care Medicine.
    • Statistical analysis (one-way ANOVA) revealed no significant differences in reporting completeness among the three journals (P = .25).

    Conclusions:

    • Methodology reporting completeness in major emergency and acute care journals during the study period was suboptimal and did not significantly differ.
    • There is a need for enhanced reporting standards to ensure the reproducibility of clinical research in these critical medical fields.
