Protocol for development of SPIRIT and CONSORT extensions for reporting climate and environmental outcomes in randomised trials (SPIRIT-ICE and CONSORT-ICE).

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The WHO has declared climate change the defining public health challenge of the 21st century. Incorporating climate and environmental outcomes in randomised trials is essential for enhancing healthcare treatments' sustainability and safeguarding global health. To implement such outcomes, it is necessary to establish a framework for unbiased and transparent planning and reporting. We aim to develop extensions to the Standard Protocol Items: Recommendations for Interventional Trials (SPIRIT 2025) and Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT 2025) statements by introducing guidelines for reporting climate and environmental outcomes.

Methods and analysis

This is a protocol for SPIRIT and CONSORT extensions on reporting climate and environmental outcomes i
