简介：加强流行病学观察性研究报告（STROBE）于 2007 年提出，强调了通过提供项目清单来提高观察性研究质量的重要性，以避免研究报告不充分。然而，目前还没有专门针对外科队列研究的报告指南，而外科队列研究在外科文献中发挥着极其重要的作用。最近制定的手术具体指南强调了手术和程序干预如何需要更多细节，以便读者有一个完整、清晰、透明和可重复的理解。本研究的目的是进行德尔菲共识练习，以制定 STROCSS 指南（加强外科队列研究的报告）。方法和分析：将对病例系列 (PROCESS)、队列研究 (STROBE) 和随机对照试验 (CONSORT) 的当前指南进行分析，以编译项目，形成用于在德尔菲共识练习中制定队列指南的基线材料。 Delphi 调查问卷将通过 Google Forms 进行管理，并使用标准 Delphi 方法进行。将邀请具有审查队列研究丰富经验以及制定报告指南经验的外科医生和个人参加。在第一轮中，将提出 PROCESS 和 STROBE 的现有项目，并邀请参与者补充这些项目或贡献更多项目供考虑。然后，临时指南将使用分级建议、评估、发展和评估 (GRADE) 工作组提出的九点李克特量表进行连续几轮更新。该过程将用于商定结果的标准定义。传播：该工作将在同行评审的期刊上发表，并在国内和国际会议上展示。研究结果将分发给感兴趣的各方，并鼓励期刊认可报告指南。 (C) 2017 年作者。由 Elsevier Ltd 代表 Surgical Associates Ltd 出版。这是一篇基于 CC BY-NC-ND 许可的开放获取文章。
Introduction: Strengthening the reporting of observational studies in epidemiology (STROBE) coined in 2007, highlighted the importance of improving the quality of observational research by providing an item checklist in order to avoid inadequate reporting of research. However, currently there are no reporting guidelines specific to surgical cohort studies, which have an extremely important role within the surgical literature. The recent development of surgery specific guidelines has underscored how surgical and procedural interventions require additional detail for readers to have a complete, clear, transparent and reproducible understanding. The objective of this research is to conduct a Delphi consensus exercise to develop the STROCSS guideline (Strengthening the Reporting of Cohort Studies in Surgery).Methods and analysis: Current guidelines for case series (PROCESS), Cohort Studies (STROBE) and randomised controlled trials (CONSORT) will be analysed to compile items to form baseline material for developing cohort guidelines in the Delphi consensus exercise. The Delphi questionnaire will be administered via Google Forms and conducted using standard Delphi Methodology. Surgeons and individuals with significant experience of reviewing cohort studies as well as those with experience in developing reporting guidelines will be invited to participate. In the first round, existing items from PROCESS and STROBE will be put forward and participants will be invited to augment them or contribute further items for consideration. The provisional guidelines will then be updated in successive rounds using the ninepoint Likert scale as proposed by the Grading Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluations (GRADE) working group. This process will be used to agree Standard definitions for the outcomes.Dissemination: The work will be published in a peer-reviewed journal and presented at national and international meetings. Findings will be disseminated to interested parties, and journals will be encouraged to endorse the reporting guidelines. (C) 2017 The Authors.
