Trial registration in pediatric surgery trials
Copyright © 2017 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved..
BACKGROUND: Prospective clinical trial registration serves to increase transparency and to mitigate selective reporting bias. An assessment of adult surgical trials revealed poor trial registration practice with incomplete provision of information in registries and inconsistent information in the corresponding publication. The extent and completeness of pediatric surgical trial registration are unknown. We aimed to determine the proportion and adequacy of clinical trial registration in pediatric surgery trials published in 2014.
METHODS: Using sensitive search strategies in MEDLINE, abstracts and full-texts of prospective pediatric intervention studies published in 2014 were screened in duplicate. Pediatric surgical trials were included. Clinical trial registration numbers obtained from publications were searched in trial registries. Data were extracted based on WHO 20-item minimum data set to determine the completeness of registration data. The proportion of registered trials was recorded and registration data were compared to reported data in the corresponding publication.
RESULTS: Our search and abstract screening identified 3375 articles for full text review. Following coding, a total of 54 pediatric surgical trials were included and analyzed; 28% (15/54) of which published a registration number. In trials which reported a registration number, 40% (6/15) were retrospectively registered and 40% (6/15) had made changes to their registered primary and/or secondary outcome measures. One included published trial reported an incorrect registration number.
CONCLUSIONS: Analysis of pediatric surgery trials published in 2014 revealed a poor prospective trial registration rate and incomplete registration data. Our study supports future initiatives for improved registration behaviors in pediatric surgery trials to ensure high-quality, transparent, reproducible evidence is generated.
STUDY TYPE: Therapeutic (clinical trials), level II.
