摘要

本研究的目的是评估COVID-19大流行对三本影响因子最高的正畸期刊上发表的最新正畸文献的研究报告质量的影响。研究人员检索了《美国正畸和牙面矫形学期刊》（AJODO）、《欧洲正畸学期刊》（EJO）和《角正畸学家》（AO）上发表的2018年1月至2022年3月的随机对照试验（RCT）。采用试验报告综合标准（CONSORT）清单对试验进行评估。使用独立t检验比较CONSORT百分比的COVID前和COVID后RCT，并比较发表这些试验的期刊。多重线性回归用于研究不同特征与 CONSORT 百分比得分之间的关系。2018年1月至2022年3月期间，三种期刊共检索到117项RCT。样本分为63项COVID前研究（53.8%）和54项COVID后研究（46.2%），这些研究发表在三本口腔正畸杂志上（27项发表在AJODO[23.1%]，45项发表在AO[38.5%]，45项发表在EJO[38.5%]）。符合 CONSORT 标准的平均比例为 84.51% ± 14.34%。CONSORT评分与试验发表期刊之间存在统计学意义上的显著关联。与《AJODO》相比，《AO》的CONSORT百分比平均低18.81，P<0.001。对COVID前后CONSORT百分比的RCT进行了独立t检验。结果显示，CONSORT 的平均得分为 84.51% ± 14.34%。AJODO 的 CONSORT 合规性得分最高，而 AO 的 CONSORT 合规性得分最低。正畸期刊上的 RCT 报告质量并未受到大流行的影响。

Assessing the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the quality of evidence reported in the leading orthodontic journals

The objective of this study was to assess the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the quality of research reporting of the most recent orthodontic literature published in three of the highest impact factor orthodontic journals. The American Journals of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics (AJODO), European Journal of Orthodontics (EJO), and Angle Orthodontist (AO) were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published from January 2018 to March 2022. Trials were evaluated using the consolidated standards of reporting trial (CONSORT) checklist. Independent t-test was used to compare pre-COVID and post-COVID RCTs across CONSORT percentages and to compare journals where those trials were published. Multiple linear regressions were used to study the association of different characteristics with the CONSORT percentage scores. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. A total of 117 RCTs were retrieved from the three journals between January 2018 and March 2022. Thesample was classified as 63 pre-COVID studies (53.8%) and 54 (46.2%) post-COVID studies published in three orthodontics journals (27 in AJODO [23.1%], 45 [38.5%] in AO, and 45 [38.5%] in the EJO). The mean percentage of CONSORT compliance was 84.51% ± 14.34%. There was a statistically significant association of CONSORT scores with journals where the trials were published. Compared to AJODO, AO had a lower CONSORT percentage by an average of 18.81, P < 0.001. Independent t-test was performed to compare RCTs pre/post-COVID across CONSORT percentages. It showed no statistically significant difference as the mean compliance was 84.96 ± 16.01 for the pre-COVID studies and 83.99 ± 12.25 for post-COVID (P = 0.711). Overall, CONSORT mean score was 84.51% ± 14.34%. AJODO had the highest CONSORT compliance score while AO had the least compliance score. The quality of reporting of RCTs in orthodontic journals was not affected by the pandemic.
