Publications investigating the efficacy of surgical stabilization of rib fractures (SSRF) have increased exponentially. However, there is currently no standardized reporting structure for these studies, rendering both comparisons and extrapolation problematic.
A subject matter expert group was formed by the Chest Wall Injury Society. This group conducted a review of the SSRF investigational literature and identified variable reporting within several general categories of relevant parameters. A compliment of guidelines was then generated.
The reporting guidelines consist of 26 recommendations in the categories of: (1) study type, (2) patient and injury characteristics, (3) patient treatments, (4) outcomes, and (5) statistical considerations.
Our review identified inconsistencies in reporting within the investigational SSRF literature. In response to these inconsistencies, we propose a set of recommendations to standardize reporting of original investigations into the efficacy of SSRF.
研究外科固定肋骨骨折（SSRF）疗效的出版物呈指数级增长。然而，目前这些研究没有标准化的报告结构，这使得比较和推断都变得困难。
胸壁损伤协会成立了一个主题专家小组。该小组对 SSRF 的研究文献进行了回顾，并在几个相关参数的一般类别中发现了可变的报告。然后生成了一套准则。
报告准则包括 26 条建议，分为以下几类：（1）研究类型；（2）患者和损伤特征；（3）患者治疗；（4）结果；（5）统计考虑。
我们的审查发现，研究性 SSRF 文献中的报告存在不一致之处。针对这些不一致，我们提出了一系列建议，以标准化 SSRF 疗效的原始研究报告。
