en Quality of Case Reports and Adherence to the CARE (Case Report) Guidelines: Protocol for a Scoping Review بهداشت عمومی General Health پژوهشي Research <h1 style="text-align:justify; margin-bottom:4px">Background & Objectives: The use of reporting guidelines aims to enhance the completeness and transparency of biomedical publications. The CARE guideline was developed in 2013 to assist researchers in improving the reporting of their case reports. In this study, drawing on evidence from studies that have evaluated the reporting quality of case reports based on the CARE guideline, we aim to conduct a scoping review focusing on the state-of-the-art adherence to the CARE guidelines in case reports and identifying factors associated with adherence to this guideline.</h1> <h2 style="text-align:justify; margin-bottom:4px">Materials & Methods: The protocol for this scoping review follows the Arksey and O’Malley framework. We searched for meta-research studies indexed in four databases (Web of Science, PubMed, Embase, and Scopus) from 2013 to 2023, for studies primarily aimed at evaluating the reporting quality of case reports based on the CARE guidelines. Study selection was performed in duplicate. This study report followed the PRISMA-ScR.</h2> <h2 style="text-align:justify; margin-bottom:4px">Results: Our database searches retrieved 35 studies, of which 14 were included for full-text analysis. The publication rate has increased sharply in recent years; seven articles (50%) were published in 2020 and 2021. Further analysis is in progress and scheduled for completion by July 2024.</h2> <h2 style="text-align:justify; margin-bottom:4px">Conclusions: By conducting this scoping review, we attempted to gain a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of the quality of case reports based on the CARE guideline, identify gaps, and provide recommendations for the more efficient and meaningful use of the CARE reporting guideline in the future.</h2> Guideline as Topic, Scoping review, Adherence, Case reports, CARE 148 154 http://jabs.fums.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-3353-1&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Abolfazl Taheri ابوالفضل طاهری a.tahery68@gmail.com 100319475328460028823 100319475328460028823 No Health Information Technology Research Canter, Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, Isfahan, Iran مرکز تحقیقات فناوری اطلاعات سلامت، دانشگاه علوم پزشکی اصفهان، اصفهان، ایران payman Adibi پیمان ادیبی payman.adibi@gmail.com 100319475328460028824 100319475328460028824 No Gastroenterology and hepatology research center , Isfahan University of medical sciences , Isfahan, Iran مرکز تحقیقات گوارش و کبد، دانشگاه علوم پزشکی اصفهان، اصفهان، ایران Marziye Saeedizadeh مرضیه سعیدی زاده saeedi.somaye@gmail.com 100319475328460028825 100319475328460028825 Yes Health Information Technology Research Canter, Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, Isfahan, Iran مرکز تحقیقات فناوری اطلاعات سلامت، دانشگاه علوم پزشکی اصفهان، اصفهان، ایران Mojtaba Sabbagh Jafari مجتبی صباغ جعفری mojtaba.sabbagh@vru.ac.ir 100319475328460028826 100319475328460028826 No Department of Computer Engineering, Vali -e- Asr University of Rafsanjan, Rafsanjan, Kerman, Iran گروه مهندسی کامپیوتر، دانشگاه ولی عصر رفسنجان، رفسنجان، کرمان، ایران Alireza Rahimi علیرضا رحیمی alirezarahimi.kh@gmail.com 100319475328460028827 100319475328460028827 No Head of Clinical Informationist Research Group, Health Information Technology Research Center, Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, Isfahan, Iran مدیر گروه تحقیقات اطلاعات بالینی، مرکز تحقیقات فناوری اطلاعات سلامت، دانشگاه علوم پزشکی اصفهان، اصفهان، ایران Alireza Abbasi علیرضا عباسی a.abbasi@unsw.edu.au 100319475328460028828 100319475328460028828 No School of Engineering and Information Technology, University of New South Wales, Canberra, Australia دانشکده مهندسی و فناوری اطلاعات، دانشگاه نیو ساوت ولز، کانبرا، استرالیا
