Abstract

Objective: To identify a comprehensive list of outcomes and explore the reporting rate of core outcome sets (COS) and related factors in systematic reviews (SRs) of acupuncture for osteoarthritis (OA).

Study design and setting: Databases were searched for the relative SRs. Descriptive statistics were calculated as frequencies and percentages. Binary logistic regression was used to explore the factors affecting the reporting rate of COS.

Results: We included 59 SRs. Outcome measures reported in the SRs were classified into 11 domains and 67 unique outcomes. No SR completely reported COS. In COS released in 2016, 75% of outcomes (6/8) were only reported by ⩽5% SRs. In COS released in 2019, the reporting rate was very low (from 0% to 17%) for 73.3% of outcomes (11/15). SRs published in the most recent 5 years had a significantly greater possibility of reporting COS (odds ratio (OR) = 4.74, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.33 to 16.88, p = 0.016).

Conclusion: Core outcomes were rarely reported in systematic reviews of acupuncture for OA, with considerable heterogeneity in the use of outcomes. The publication of COS in the COMET (Core Outcome Measures in Effectiveness Trials) database may help promote the reporting of COS. We encourage systematic reviewers to use relevant COS.

在一项横断面荟萃流行病学研究中，针灸治疗骨关节炎的系统综述很少报道核心结果。

目的:探讨针刺治疗骨关节炎(OA)的系统评价(SRs)中核心结局集(COS)的报告率及相关因素。研究设计和设置:在数据库中检索相对生存率。描述性统计以频率和百分比计算。采用二元logistic回归分析影响COS报告率的因素。结果:纳入59例SRs。SRs中报告的结果测量分为11个领域和67个独特的结果。没有SR完全报告COS。在2016年发布的COS中，75%的结果(6/8)仅报告了5%的SRs。在2019年发布的COS中，73.3%(11/15)的结果报告率很低(从0%到17%)。最近5年发表的SRs报告COS的可能性显著增加(优势比(OR) = 4.74, 95%可信区间(CI) = 1.33 ~ 16.88, p = 0.016)。结论:在针灸治疗OA的系统综述中，核心结果很少被报道，在使用结果上存在相当大的异质性。在COMET(有效性试验的核心结果测量)数据库中公布COS可能有助于促进COS的报告。我们鼓励系统审稿人使用相关的COS。

期刊介绍： Acupuncture in Medicine aims to promote the scientific understanding of acupuncture and related treatments by publishing scientific investigations of their effectiveness and modes of action as well as articles on their use in health services and clinical practice. Acupuncture in Medicine uses the Western understanding of neurophysiology and anatomy to interpret the effects of acupuncture.
