Abstract:

Objective To evaluate the report quality of randomized controlled trials（RCT） of oral and maxillofacial surgery in China during 2000—2009. Methods A comprehensive electronic search was carried out through Chinese Biomedical Literature Database（CBM）, VIP Database for Chinese Technical Periodicals（VIP） and China National Knowledge Infrastructure（CNKI）, and 19 kinds of journals of stomatology in China were also hand-searched. We identified RCT published between 2000 and 2009, and classified into oral and maxillofacial surgery and labeled “random”and assessed the quality of these reports using the consolidated standards of reporting trials（CONSORT） statement. Results 53 RCT articles were included. Reporting quality of the 53 articles was not high and the CONSORT score was 8.2±2.5. Conclusion The reporting quality of RCT of oral and maxillofacial surgery in China is poor. The  CONSORT statement should be used to standardize the reporting of RCT.

Key words: stomatology, consolidated standards of reporting trials, randomized controlled trials, reporting quality
