在随机对照试验(Randomized Controlled Trial,RCT)中,非药物RCT的干预措施大多涉及多种复杂的治疗手段,很难进行统一、规范、重复和实施。实施因素的差异、治疗者的专业知识水平和治疗中心的医疗水平等均会影响试验干预效果的评估。据此,CONSORT小组制定了非药物治疗随机对照试验(Nonpharmacologic Treatments Randomized Control Trials)报告的统一标准(Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials,CONSORT)扩展版。本文概述非药物随机对照临床试验CONSORT扩展版相关内容。

一、非药物治疗随机对照试验报告规范背景

随机对照试验(Randomized Controlled Trial,RCT)的干预措施可以是药物,也可以是非药物,后者主要包括手术、技术干预、仪器设备干预、康复理疗、心理治疗、行为干预、补充和替代医学疗法等。近年来,非药物RCT数量逐渐增加,但CONSORT声明标准版尚未考虑非药物RCT的特殊性,如其干预措施大多是涉及多种复杂的治疗手段,很难统一、规范、重复和实施;难以实施盲法,即使实施,方法及设计也较为复杂;结果易受到实施因素的差异、治疗者的专业知识水平和治疗中心的医疗水平等各种因素影响,进而影响非药物RCT报告的质量,有偏地评估干预效果。

基于此,CONSORT小组制定了非药物干预临床试验的报告规范Extending the CONSORT Statement to Randomized Trials of Nonpharmacologic Treatment,即《非药物随机对照临床试验CONSORT扩展声明》,并于2006年2月在法国巴黎召开会议就如何报告非药物干预的RCT达成了共识。2008年,非药物随机对照临床试验的CONSORT扩展声明正式发表。2009年我国将此声明译为中文并推荐使用。非药物随机对照临床试验CONSORT扩展声明一共有22项,其中第1、3、4、7、8、11、12、13、20、21条内容根据非药物随机对照临床试验的特点进行了补充,另外新增1条内容,并对流程图进行了修改,其他项目与CONSORT 2001标准版相同。

三、非药物随机对照临床试验CONSORT扩展版使用注意事项

非药物随机对照临床试验CONSORT扩展版是CONSORT标准版的扩展声明之一,旨在提高非药物随机对照临床试验报告的透明度。该指南既保留了平行设计RCT的条目,也突出了非药物随机对照临床试验自身的特点。该扩展版意味着作者、编辑和审稿人认为:一份阐明方法学并不完善的透明报告比缺乏透明度而掩盖可能不完善方法的研究更容易发表。

尽管非药物随机对照临床试验CONSORT扩展版并不是为了改善RCT的计划和实施,但作者在试验计划书的撰写和试验开展阶段阅读该扩展版,并以此为依据解释和说明文件评估非药物随机对照临床试验的结果以及撰写论文,可提高报告质量;编辑和审稿人在评议此类稿件时,也可参考该扩展版。

研究者在使用本条目清单中的22个条目时,应该将该清单内容与CONSORT 2010标准版指南结合起来。根据实施的试验类型和研究内容不同,作者也可以与整群试验非劣效性与等效性试验所制定的CONSORT声明扩展版,以及不良事件报告的详细指南联合使用。
