Variable reporting of enrollment and exit procedures may limit outcome interpretation; leaves open whether standardized guidelines would improve transparency and reproducibility.
There is significant variability and underreporting of study exit procedures in clinical trials of deep brain stimulation, highlighting a need for improved transparency.
Sankary et al. (2020) conducted a review in Deep brain stimulation (n=47). Deep brain stimulation clinical trials was evaluated on Disclosure of procedures related to exit from research. In a review of 47 clinical trials of deep brain stimulation, only 19% (9 trials) disclosed procedures related to participant exit from research.
