Comparison of Registered and Published Primary Outcomes in Randomized Clinical Trials of Surgical Interventions

Structured PICO

Population

Randomized clinical trials of surgical interventions

Outcome

Discrepancy between registered and published primary outcomes (selective outcome reporting)

Selective outcome reporting is prevalent in surgical trials, indicating a need for stricter adherence to trial registration protocols.

Abstract

The quality of registration of surgical trials published in surgical journals was inferior to those published in general medical journals. Comparison of the primary outcomes of surgical RCTs registered with their subsequent publication indicated that selective outcome reporting is prevalent and appears to be higher than in general medical trials.
