At present, the
quality of the publication of Control Trials (CTs) in medicaljournals improved
due to the inclusion of the CONSORT (CONsolidated Standards of Reporting
Trials) standards and the Declaration of Helsinki.
The aim is to
analyse methodological and ethical quality of published CTs in Annals of Family
Medicine journal.Material and We use a 133-item checklist
divided into 11 sections based on CONSORT and the Declaration of Helsinki. The
Confidence Interval of 95% (95% CI) of Clopper-Pearson for κ average is
calculated.
We found 35 CTs
in a literature review (2010-2013) on March 25, 2014 according to PRISMA
(Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analysis). CT was
mentioned in all heading/subheadings; CT controlled parallels in 80%; cluster
type 45.7%.
