The purpose of this study was to develop a checklist of items that describes and measures the quality of reports of interventional trials assessing spa therapy.
The Delphi consensus method was used to select the number of items in the checklist. A total of eight individuals participated, including an epidemiologist, a clinical research methodologist, clinical researchers, a medical journalist, and a health fitness programmer. Participants ranked on a 9-point Likert scale whether an item should be included in the checklist.
Three rounds of the Delphi method were conducted to achieve consensus. The final checklist contained 19 items, with items related to title, place of implementation (specificity of spa), care provider influence, and additional measures to minimize the potential bias from withdrawals, loss to follow-up, and low treatment adherence.
This checklist is simple and quick to complete, and should help clinicians and researchers critically appraise the medical and healthcare literature, reviewers assess the quality of reports included in systematic reviews, and researchers plan interventional trials of spa therapy.
本研究旨在制定一份清单，描述和衡量评估矿泉疗法的干预试验报告的质量。
采用德尔菲共识法选择清单中的项目数量。共有 8 人参与，包括一名流行病学家、一名临床研究方法学家、临床研究人员、一名医学记者和一名健康健身程序员。参与者对项目是否应包含在清单中进行了 9 分李克特量表评分。
经过三轮德尔菲法，达成了共识。最终的清单包含 19 个项目，涉及标题、实施地点（矿泉的特异性）、护理提供者的影响以及其他措施，以最大限度地减少因退出、失访和治疗依从性低而导致的潜在偏倚。
本清单简单快捷，应有助于临床医生和研究人员批判性地评估医学和医疗保健文献，审查者评估系统评价中报告的质量，以及研究人员计划矿泉疗法的干预试验。
