Medical record review (MRR) studies have been reported to make up 25% of all scientific studies published in emergency medical (EM) journals. However, unlike other study designs, there are no standards for reporting MRRs and very little literature on the methodology for conducting them. The purpose of this article is to provide the reader with methodological guidance regarding the strengths and weaknesses of these types of studies.
据报道,病历回顾(MRR)研究占急诊医学(EM)期刊发表的所有科学研究的25%。然而,与其他研究设计不同,目前尚无报告MRR的标准,关于开展此类研究方法的文献也非常少。本文旨在为读者提供有关这类研究优缺点的方法学指导。
