Abstract:

Objective This study aimed to assess the quality of reporting randomized controlled trials(RCT) published in Chinese coredental journals. Methods Published RCTs in five Chinese core dental journals between January 2011 and August 2012 were included. The quality of the RCT reports was assessed through modified consolidated standards of reporting trials(CONSORT) statement checklist. The data was analyzed by using descriptive statistics and univariate and multivariate regression analysis to identify important factors affecting the quality at α=0.05 level. Results A total of 68 articles met the inclusion criteria. The mean CONSORT score is 50.38±1.83. The quality score has a positive association with the approval of the ethics committee, whether the informed consent form was signed, and high Jadad scores. Conclusion The quality scores of RCTs in the Chinese core dental journals are considered suboptimal. The reporting quality of RCTs needs to be improved.

Key words: randomized controlled trial, dentistry, consolidated standards of reporting trials statement
