The completeness of reporting of acupuncture interventions is critical to ensure the applicability and reproducibility of acupuncture clinical trials. In the past, different publications have evaluated the completeness of reporting of acupuncture interventions for different clinical situations, such as knee osteoarthritis, neurological diseases or cancer. However, this has not been done for acupuncture trials for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). To assess the completeness of reporting of acupuncture interventions in trials for COPD. A total of 11 English and Chinese databases were screened up until May 2019 for randomised or quasi-randomised control trials of acupuncture for COPD. The STRICTA checklist was used to determine the quality of the reporting of acupuncture interventions. A total of 28 trials were included in our review. Out of the 16 STRICTA checklist subitems analysed, only 4 were considered appropriately reported in more than 70% of the trials, while 7 were correctly reported in less than 30%. The adherence to STRICTA guidelines of acupuncture trials for COPD is suboptimal, and future efforts need to be addressed to improve the completeness of reporting.
针刺干预措施报告的完整性对于确保针刺临床试验的适用性和可重复性至关重要。过去，不同的出版物已经评估了针对不同临床情况（如膝骨关节炎、神经疾病或癌症）的针刺干预措施报告的完整性。然而，对于 COPD 的针刺试验尚未进行过此类评估。评估 COPD 针刺试验中针刺干预措施报告的完整性。从 2019 年 5 月之前，我们总共筛选了 11 个英文和中文数据库，以查找针对 COPD 的针刺随机或半随机对照试验。我们使用 STRICTA 清单来确定针刺干预措施报告的质量。共有 28 项试验纳入了我们的综述。在分析的 16 项 STRICTA 清单子项中，只有 4 项在超过 70%的试验中被认为报告得当，而 7 项在不到 30%的试验中报告得当。COPD 针刺试验对 STRICTA 指南的遵循情况并不理想，未来需要努力提高报告的完整性。
