摘要

Case reports are valuable clinical evidence in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). However

the general reporting quality is suboptimal. A working group comprising 20 members was set up to develop systematic recommendations on case report in Chinese medicine (CARC). The working group (CARC group) developed a primary checklist based on reviewing the general reporting quality of case reports in TCM and thorough internal discussion. Two-round consensus process had been carried out among clinical experts

evidence-based medicine methodologists

medical journal editors and clinical practitioners with designated questionnaire embedded with the primary checklist. In total

118 participants from 17 provinces of China and Korea completed the questionnaires. Their feedback was analyzed and discussed by the CARC group. The checklist was amended accordingly

and the final version

comprising 16-item

is presented here. Under the framework of CARC recommendations

the reporting quality of case reports in TCM can be improved.
