The items of CARE and CARES guideline were as-sessed as ‘Sufficient’, ‘Not sufficient’, ‘Not reported’, ‘Not applicable’. The outcome was analyzed us-ing case reports and items.
Results: 26 case reports were selected. For CARE guideline, ‘Sufficient’ percentage was min at 22.2%, max at 46.4% with a median of 39.3%. Sum of ‘Sufficient’, ‘Not sufficient’ percentage was min at 59.3%, max at 85.7% with a median of 75.0%. Items ‘Timeline’, ‘Diagnostic assessment’, ‘Follow up and outcomes’, ‘Informed consent’ were not reported in more than 50% of all case reports. Items ‘Keywords’, ‘Abstract’, ‘Introduction’, ‘patient information’, ‘Diagnostic assessment’, ‘Therapeutic interventions’, ‘Follow up and outcomes’ were not sufficiently reported in more than 50% of all case reports. For CARES guideline, ‘Sufficient’ percentage was min at 0%, max at 50% with a median of 0%. Sum of ‘Sufficient’, ‘Not sufficient’ percentage was min at 33.3%, max at 100% with a median of 92.9%. Items of herbal prescription ‘herb’, ‘decoction’, ‘use’, items of acupuncture treatment ‘materials’, ‘techniques’, items of moxibustion treatment ‘materials’, ‘techniques’ were not suffi-ciently reported in more than 50% of all case reports.
