Reporting Quality of Randomized Controlled Trials in Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Autoantibody-Associated Vasculitis.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Treatment of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis (AAV) relies on high-quality randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Comprehensive and transparent reporting is crucial for the integrity and interpretation of trial findings. Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) checklists are part of a global initiative aiming to improve the quality of RCTs through standardized reporting. Reporting quality of AAV trials is unknown, thus we aimed to evaluate their adherence to CONSORT.

Methods

A PubMed search for RCTs in AAV resulted in 596 hits. These were filtered to include only original RCTs published between January 2011 to March 2025. Adherence was calculated as the total percentage of all items applicable to the trial.
