This article outlines new minimum standards for reporting adult cochlear implant outcomes. These standards have been endorsed by the Implantable Hearing Devices Committee and the Hearing Committee of the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery. The lack of a standardized method for reporting outcomes following cochlear implantation in clinical trials has hampered the ability of investigators to draw comparisons across studies. Variability in data reported in articles and presentation formats inhibits meta-analyses, making it impossible to accumulate the large patient cohorts needed for statistically significant inference. While investigators remain unrestricted in publishing their adult cochlear implant outcome data in additional formats that they believe to be valuable, they should include the presently proposed minimal data set to facilitate interstudy comparability and consistency of reporting.
本文概述了报道成人人工耳蜗植入术结果的新最低标准。这些标准得到了植入式听力设备委员会和美国耳鼻喉科学-头颈外科学会听力委员会的认可。临床试验中，由于缺乏标准化的方法来报告人工耳蜗植入后的结果，这妨碍了研究人员在研究之间进行比较的能力。在文章和演示格式中报告的数据的变异性抑制了荟萃分析，使得不可能积累用于进行统计学显著推断所需的大量患者队列。虽然研究人员仍然可以不受限制地以他们认为有价值的其他格式发表其成人人工耳蜗植入术结果数据，但他们应该包括目前提出的最小数据集，以促进研究间的可比性和报告的一致性。
