The standards for reporting of diagnostic accuracy (STARD) was developed for guiding the reporting of diagnostic accuracy studies. Its newest version was published in 2015. The study mainly introduced the checklist, terminology, and diagram of the STARD 2015. It is hoped that domestic researchers could use the STARD 2015 to guide the implementation and reporting of their diagnostic accuracy studies, so as to improve the reporting quality of diagnostic accuracy studies.
The CONSORT extension for reporting N-of-1 trials (CENT 2015) is designed to guide N-of-1 and series N-of-1 reporting. This study introduced the terminology (period, block or pair, sequence, washout period, and run-in period), the scope, the checklist and the diagram of CENT 2015 and demonstrated the complete guide frame for N-of-1, and thus to provide reference for relevant studies and improve the reporting quality of N-of-1 in China.
