Routinely collected health data, obtained for administrative and clinical purposes without specific a priori research goals, are increasingly used for research. The rapid evolution and availability of these data have revealed issues not addressed by existing reporting guidelines, such as Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE). The REporting of studies Conducted using Observational Routinely collected health Data (RECORD) statement was created to fill these gaps. RECORD was created as an extension to the STROBE statement to address reporting items specific to observational studies using routinely collected health data. RECORD consists of a checklist of 13 items related to the title, abstract, introduction, methods, results, and discussion section of articles, and other information required for inclusion in such research reports. This document contains the checklist and explanatory and elaboration information to enhance the use of the checklist. Examples of good reporting for each RECORD checklist item are also included herein. This document, as well as the accompanying website and message board (http://www.record-statement.org), will enhance the implementation and understanding of RECORD. Through implementation of RECORD, authors, journals editors, and peer reviewers can encourage transparency of research reporting.
为行政和临床目的而收集的常规健康数据，在没有特定先验研究目标的情况下，越来越多地被用于研究。这些数据的快速发展和可得性揭示了现有报告指南（如《加强流行病学观察性研究报告规范》（STROBE））未涉及的问题。《利用常规收集的健康数据开展研究的报告规范》（RECORD）声明旨在填补这些空白。RECORD是作为STROBE声明的扩展而创建的，以解决使用常规收集的健康数据的观察性研究的报告项目。RECORD由一份包含13项内容的清单组成，这些内容与文章的标题、摘要、引言、方法、结果和讨论部分以及纳入此类研究报告所需的其他信息有关。本文档包含该清单以及用于加强清单使用的解释和阐述信息。本文还包括每个RECORD清单项目的良好报告示例。本文档以及配套网站和留言板（http://www.record-statement.org）将加强对RECORD的实施和理解。通过实施RECORD，作者、期刊编辑和同行评审人员可以促进研究报告的透明度。
