Abstract:
The QUOROM statement means a set of quality standards of Meta analysis report. It comprises a checklist and a flowchart for reporting a Meta analysis. They are primarily used in writing, reviewing or evaluating reports of Meta analysis for simple two group, parallel RCTs. The statement is a continually evolving document. A few international medical journals have endorsed the QUOROM statement and require authors submitting manuscripts for publication to include all the information on the checklist and flowchart of QUOROM statement. Based on introducing the background, processes of forming QUOROM statement and reviewing the contents and requirements of QUOROM, we prepare this paper, hoping to improve the quality of Meta analysis report for randomized controlled clinical trials in our country. Some comments and suggestions are given at the same time.
