Background and/or Objectives: Stroke is a common debilitating and costly disease for patients. Though post-stroke rehabilitation studies have shown promising results, there remains the question of whether or not positive results could be replicable. The Template for Intervention Description and Replication (TIDieR) checklist was created in 2014 to assess published trials, so that success reported in trials could be replicated. In this study, we evaluate the quality of reporting randomized controlled trials (RCT) of post-stroke rehabilitation.
Design: A systematic review of the rehabilitation literature on post-stroke rehabilitation RCTs was performed using the TiDieR checklist. PubMed and Embase were queried for peer-reviewed RCTs from 2015 to 2021 using key words motor stroke rehabilitation. After screening, control and experimental intervention groups of each article were scored (2=fully, 1=partially, 0=not reported) for adherence to the twelve checklist items.
Setting: PubMed and Embase electronic databases.
Participants: 90 articles scored of 870 screened, yielding 90 control and 104 experimental groups.
Interventions: N/A
Main Outcome Measures: 12 TIDieR checklist items, Composite TIDieR scores, IF of journals.
Results: Experimental intervention groups had higher rates of complete reporting for materials (86.5% vs 54 4.%, p
Conclusions: RCTs for post-stroke motor rehabilitation were moderately adherent to the TiDieR checklist with experimental interventions having higher rates of full reporting in materials, procedure, provider, mode-of-delivery, setting and dosage items. Future stroke intervention studies should consider incorporating the TiDieR checklist for increased clinical reproducibility , reduced long-term healthcare costs, and improved quality of life for patients.
