Improving the quality of reporting in randomised controlled trials.

Wound-care journals contain abundant reports of trials, but not all report a satisfactory methodology. Systematic reviews of wound-care trials have highlighted many areas for improvement, and the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) guidelines recommend that primary research in the field of pressure ulcer prevention should adhere more closely to current methodological standards in terms of conduct and reporting. The CONSORT tool was developed to help achieve these improvements in the design and reporting of randomised controlled trials (RCTs).
