Methodological quality and reporting using time-to-event data in sports science and medicine: a scoping review.

ABSTRACT: Time-to-event is a powerful statistical approach increasingly used in sports science and medicine to examine time-to-event outcomes such as time to sports injury occurrence, career duration and recovery processes. This scoping review aims to systematically assess the methodological quality and reporting practices of studies published within the sports science and medicine domain using time-to-event techniques (eg, Cox regression). We conducted a scoping review of 138 original studies published between 2013 and 2023. Studies were identified from PubMed and Web of Science, and methodological reporting was evaluated using the Statistical Analyses and Methods in the Published Literature guidelines, focusing on statistical methods, model assumptions, censoring and reporting of survival measures
