Analysis of status quo on the outcome indexes in randomized controlled trials of acupuncture for polycystic ovary syndrome
检索中国期刊全文数据库(CNKI)、万方数据知识服务平台(Wanfang)、维普资讯中文期刊服务平台(VIP)、中国生物医学文献数据库(SinoMed)、PubMed、EMbase、Cochrane Library及Web of Science数据库2018年1月1日至2023年6月28日收录的针刺治疗PCOS的临床研究,提取、归纳和分析相关结局指标,整理针刺治疗PCOS的指标域。
To analyze the application and status quo of the outcome indexes in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of acupuncture for polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) so as to provide a favorable reference for the construction of the core outcome set.
Methods
2
RCTs of acupuncture for PCOS were searched in databases
i. e. CNKI
Wanfang
VIP
SinoMed
PubMed
EMbase
Cochrane Library and Web of Science
from January 1st
2018 to June 28th
2023. The relevant outcome indexes were extracted
collected and analyzed to collate the index domains of acupuncture for PCOS.
Results
2
A total of 60 articles were included
involving 123 outcome indexes. The outcome indexes of the physical and chemical detection were the highest in frequency (65.79%)
followed by the symptoms/signs (23.37%)
safety events (4.02%)
TCM syndrome (3.10%)
quality of life (1.86%) and the long-term prognosis (1.86%). None of the RCTs included the indexes for the economic evaluation. Regarding the status quo of outcome indexes
the primary outcome index was not distinguished from secondary one
the types of outcome indexes were various
the effect evaluation was not specified
and the assessment of quality of life and safety was ignored.
Conclusion
2
The status quo of the outcome indexes in RCTs of acupuncture for PCOS is not conducive to pooling and comparing the data and the results among the different trials. It is recommended to structure the core outcome index set consistent with the therapeutic characteristics of TCM so as to improve the standardization of the clinical design of acupuncture and the quality of evidence in the trials.
