Tóm tắt

AbstractBackgroundEnhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) programs are multimodal care pathways designed to minimize the physiological and psychological impact of surgery for patients. Increased compliance with ERAS guidelines is associated with improved patient outcomes across surgical types. As ERAS programs have proliferated, an unintentional effect has been significant variation in how ERAS‐related studies are reported in the literature.MethodsTo improve the quality of ERAS reporting, ERAS® USA and the ERAS® Society launched an effort to create an instrument to assist authors in manuscript preparation. Criteria to include were selected by a combination of literature review and expert opinion. The final checklist was refined by group consensus.ResultsThe Societies present the Reporting on ERAS Compliance, Outcomes, and Elements Research (RECOvER) Checklist. The tool contains 20 items including best practices for reporting clinical pathways, compliance auditing, and formatting guidelines.ConclusionsThe RECOvER Checklist is intended to provide a standardized framework for the reporting of ERAS‐related studies. The checklist can also assist reviewers in evaluating the quality of ERAS‐related manuscripts. Authors are encouraged to include the RECOvER Checklist when submitting ERAS‐related studies to peer‐reviewed journals.
