Abstract:
Objective:To develop and interpret the reporting checklist for Delphi technique in clinical research papers, so as to provide guidance for such research paper reporting.Methods:On the basis of drawing on previous domestic and foreign medical paper reporting standards, guidelines, domestic paper writing standards, and clinical research paper evaluation methods, the reporting checklist for Delphi technique in clinical research papers was developed from the perspective of professionalism and standardization in critical appraisal, combining the characteristics of Delphi technique (anonymity, iteration, controlled feedback, and data statistics), and through literature review and the establishment of research groups for discussion, as well as the organization of expert focus groups.Results:The checklist was structured according to the paradigm of the paper, including the front part (titles, abstracts, ethics, references and so on), the text part (introduction, methods, results, discussion and conclusion), and other (dissemination and so on) items (including 26 list items and 44 detailed contents) .Conclusions:The development of the reporting checklist can be used to guide authors and researchers to report the entire research process clearly and completely, improving the rigor and transparency of paper reporting. This checklist can also be used by editors and reviewers to select and integrate review comments one by one, so as to improve the quality of paper review.
