6. CONSORT:
A brief history
• 30 experts (epidemiologist, editors, etc.) meet to discuss
standardized assessment for trials
• But they were limited by a lack of reported data
• So they created the Standardized Repor)ng of Trials (SORT) statement
• ~Same )me: “Asilomar Working Group on Recommenda)ons for
Repor)ng of Clinical Trials in the Biomedical Literature” statement
• JAMA editor facilitates mee)ng: Two groups merge proposals
• Result: Consolidated Standards of Repor)ng Trials (CONSORT)
• Follow-up mee)ngs yield the Revised CONSORT statement (2001)
• Further revisions, resul)ng in the CONSORT 2010 statement
