Objectives: The purpose of this study is to assess the quality of case reports from the Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology of Korean Medicine.
Methods: Case reports were selected from the Obstetrics and Gynecology of Korean Medicine from January 2015 to March 2019, by utilizing Oriental Medicine Advanced Searching Integrated System (OASIS). The quality of the reports were reviewed based on the Consensus-based Clinical Case Reporting Guideline Development (CARE) guideline.
Results: Total of 41 case reports were finally selected for the assessment. 69.23% of the case reports included necessary information based on the CARE guideline but the rest of the reports did not.
More than 50% of the reports were missing data regarding 'Diagnostic challenges', 'Intervention adherence and tolerability', 'Adverse and unanticipated events', or 'Patient perspective or experience', and 'Informed consent'. Also, the reports did not include 'Key word', ‘timeline’.
Conclusions: Case reports from the Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology of Korean Medicine have important role in women. Efforts are needed to improve the quality of the case reports as well as to develop reporting guidelines for the Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology of Korean Medicine.
