Strengthening The Reporting Of Cohort Studies in Surgery (STROCSS) guidelines were developed in 2017 in order to improve the reporting quality of observational studies in surgery and updated in 2019. In order to maintain relevance and continue upholding good reporting quality among observational studies in surgery, we aimed to update STROCSS 2019 guidelines.
A STROCSS 2021 steering group was formed to come up with proposals to update STROCSS 2019 guidelines. An expert panel of researchers assessed these proposals and judged whether they should become part of STROCSS 2021 guidelines or not, through a Delphi consensus exercise.
42 people (89%) completed the DELPHI survey and hence participated in the development of STROCSS 2021 guidelines. All items received a score between 7 and 9 by greater than 70% of the participants, indicating a high level of agreement among the DELPHI group members with the proposed changes to all the items.
We present updated STROCSS 2021 guidelines to ensure ongoing good reporting quality among observational studies in surgery.
《加强外科队列研究报告规范(STROCSS)》指南于2017年制定,旨在提高外科观察性研究的报告质量,并于2019年进行了更新。为了保持相关性并继续维持外科观察性研究的良好报告质量,我们旨在更新STROCSS 2019指南。
成立了一个STROCSS 2021指导小组,以提出更新STROCSS 2019指南的建议。一组研究专家通过德尔菲共识法评估了这些建议,并判断它们是否应纳入STROCSS 2021指南。
42人(89%)完成了德尔菲调查,从而参与了STROCSS 2021指南的制定。超过70%的参与者对所有项目的评分在7至9分之间,这表明德尔菲小组成员对所有项目的提议修改高度认同。
我们提出了更新后的STROCSS 2021指南,以确保外科观察性研究持续保持良好的报告质量。
