Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the quality of case reports about Sasang Constitutional Medicine(SCM).
Methods: Case reports published from March, 2015 to March, 2018 in Journal of SCM were identified by searching from Oriental Medicine Advanced Searching Integrated System(OASIS). We assessed the quality of reporting of them based on CAse REport (CARE) guideline.
Results: A total of 39 case reports were finally included for the assessment. Overall quality of reporting was acceptable because case report even less reporting items mentioned 70.4% of them. However, the quality level was uneven because the maximum report rate was 77.8 %, the minimum 44.4 %, and the median 66.7 % when rigorously assessed.
More than 50% of 39 case reports did not report 6 items about intervention adherence and tolerability, Diagnostic challenges, patient’s perspective on interventions, informed consent, timeline, and adverse events, and did not sufficiently report 4 items about inclusion of terms such as case reports or SCM in keyword, symptoms of patient in abstract, information such as occupation relevant with psychosocial history, and the rationale for conclusions.
Conclusions: Efforts to improve the quality of reporting in SCM, and to develop case reporting guidelines appropriate for SCM are required.
