许多生物医学研究都是观察性的。对这类研究的报告往往不充分，这妨碍了对研究的长处和短处以及研究的普遍性进行评估。加强流行病学观察性研究报告（STROBE）倡议就观察性研究的准确和完整报告中应包括的内容提出了建议。我们确定了建议的范围，包括三个主要的研究设计：队列研究、病例对照研究和横断面研究。我们在2004年9月召开了一个为期两天的研讨会，方法学家，研究人员和期刊编辑起草了一份项目清单。该清单随后在协调小组的几次会议上以及在与STROBE贡献者的更大群体进行的电子邮件讨论中进行了修订，其中考虑到了经验证据和方法方面的考虑。研讨会和随后的反复磋商和修订过程产生了一个包含22个项目的清单（STROBE声明），涉及文章的标题，摘要，介绍，方法，结果和讨论部分。十八个项目是所有三种研究设计所共有的，四个项目是队列、病例对照或横断面研究所特有的。一份详细的解释和评估文件单独出版，可以在PLoS Medicine，Annals of Internal Medicine和Epidemiology的网站上免费获得。我们希望《选通声明》将有助于提高观察性研究报告的质量。(c)2007年，作者。由爱思唯尔公司出版All rights reserved.
Much of biomedical research is observational. The reporting of such research is often inadequate, which hampers the assessment of its strengths and weaknesses and of a study's generalizability. The Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) Initiative developed recommendations on what should be included in an accurate and complete report of an observational study. We defined the scope of the recommendations to cover three main study designs: cohort, case-control, and cross-sectional studies. We convened a 2-day workshop in September 2004, with methodologists, researchers, and journal editors to draft a checklist of items. This list was subsequently revised during several meetings of the coordinating group and in e-mail discussions with the larger group of STROBE contributors, taking into account empirical evidence and methodological considerations. The workshop and the subsequent iterative process of consultation and revision resulted in a checklist of 22 items (the STROBE Statement) that relate to the title, abstract, introduction, methods, results, and discussion sections of articles. Eighteen items are common to all three study designs and four are specific for cohort, case-control, or cross-sectional studies. A detailed Explanation and Elaboration document is published separately and is freely available on the web sites of PLoS Medicine, Annals of Internal Medicine, and Epidemiology. We hope that the STROBE Statement will contribute to improving the quality of reporting of observational studies. (c) 2007 The authors. Published by Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
