简介：STROCSS指南于2017年制定，旨在提高手术中观察性研究的报告质量。其影响和实用性的基础上，我们寻求更新的指导方针两年后publish.Methods：一个指导小组成立，审查现有的指导方针，并提出修正案的17项清单。利用德尔菲共识练习来确定对STROCSS 2017指南的拟议修改列表的一致性。一个由46名外科医生组成的专家小组被邀请通过Google Forms.Results来评估拟议的更新：回复率为91%（n = 42/46）。在所有项目上达成了高度一致，并在第一轮中最终确定了指导方针。该清单保留了17个项目，主要考虑了改进内容和可读性的修改。结论：STROCSS 2019指南在此作为一个经过考虑的更新，以改善外科手术中队列、横断面和病例对照研究的报告。
Introduction: The STROCSS guideline was developed in 2017 to improve the reporting quality of observational studies in surgery. Building on its impact and usefulness, we sought to update the guidelines two years after its publication.Methods: A steering group was formed to review the existing guideline and propose amendments to the 17-item checklist. A Delphi consensus exercise was utilised to determine agreement across a list of proposed modifications to the STROCSS 2017 guideline. An expert panel of 46 surgeons were invited to assess the proposed updates via Google Forms.Results: The response rate was 91% (n = 42/46). High agreement was reached across all the items and the guideline was finalised in the first round. The checklist maintained 17-items, with modifications primarily considered to improve content and readability.Conclusions: The STROCSS 2019 guideline is hereby presented as a considered update to improve reporting of cohort, cross-sectional and case-control studies in surgery.
