The reporting of sex and gender in rehabilitation randomized clinical trials: a commentary.

Abstract

The aim of this commentary is to highlight the contributions of Ziebert and colleagues regarding sex and gender reporting in randomized clinical trials of distal radial fractures. While increasingly more research funding agencies are requiring the consideration of sex and gender in research designs, this is not consistently being carried out in the reporting phase. Their research quantifies the extent to which this is occurring in randomized clinical trials, considered the most rigorous of study designs which inform clinical practice guidelines.
