Abstract EN
Objectives.
The present study aimed to evaluate the overall quality of case reports concerning acupuncture treatment in Korea.
Methods.
We selected a representative Korean journal and retrieved eligible case reports on acupuncture treatment published from 2009 to 2015.
We assessed the quality of reporting based on CAse REport (CARE) and STandards for Reporting Interventions in Clinical Trials of Acupuncture (STRICTA) guideline checklists.
Results.
A total of 93 eligible case reports of acupuncture treatment were identified among the 107 articles screened.
Overall quality of reporting in the case reports was generally acceptable (75.4% on CARE, 67.7% on STRICTA), but several crucial items remained substantially underreported.
Conclusions.
Endorsement of the CARE and STRICTA guidelines is needed to improve the completeness of reporting.
Our findings will be helpful in developing a more appropriate reporting guideline for case reports in acupuncture treatment.
