Assessment of Harms Reporting Quality in Randomized Controlled Trials of Aesthetic Rhinoplasty: A Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Rhinoplasty is one of the most common aesthetic plastic surgery procedures. Complications can lead to both aesthetic and functional impairments. The Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) Harms statement was developed to promote improved reporting of harm across randomized controlled trials (RCTs).

Objectives

The aim of this systematic review is to assess harms reporting quality across RCTs on aesthetic rhinoplasty.

Methods

A literature search was conducted in Ovid MEDLINE and Embase databases (January 1, 2005 to August 4, 2023). RCTs which compared 2 or more interventions in rhinoplasty with primarily aesthetic indications and assessed patient-important outcomes were included. The reporting quality was assessed by following a 40-item checklis
