Background: Although much medical knowledge comes from observational research, such studies are more prone to confounding and bias than others. This study was conducted to evaluate the adherence of the observational studies published in Iranian medical journals to the STROBE (strengthening the reporting of observational studies in epidemiology) statement. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we selected 150 articles of Iranian medical journals, using multistage sampling from Aug 2016 to Jun 2017. The reported items of the STROBE statement in the articles was determined and considered as the adherence of the articles to the statement. The adherence of the articles with different characteristics was compared. Results: The adherence of the articles to the statement varied from 24% to 68% with a mean score of 48%±9%. The lowest mean scores were found in the Result (36%) and Method (49%) sections. The adherence was significantly better in the articles published in the journals indexed in PubMed or Web of Knowledge (ISI) databases (P<0.001) and those written by cooperation of the authors from other countries (P=0.044). Conclusion: The evaluated articles in our study had not adequately reported the items recommended by the STROBE statement. This indicates deficiency in key elements for readers to assess the validity and applicability of a study.

“…Up to now, several studies evaluated the adherence of different kinds of observational studies, case-control ( 6 ), cross-sectional ( 7 ), and cohort ( 8 ), to the STROBE statement. The studies published in a specific journal ( 9 ) or presented in a congress ( 10 ) were also evaluated.…”

“…This shows how necessary it is for the researcher to choose a methodological design befitting the proposed objective while considering the existence of possible biases and the methods of controlling them, and present this information for the reader. 17,18 minimizing memory bias in case-control studies is to use data that was collected in a systematic way before the development of the disease; for example, organized and complete medical records could be used.…”

Justificativa e Objetivos: Embora os estudos de caso-controle tenham inúmeras vantagens, eles são vulneráveis a vieses que podem mascarar os verdadeiros resultados do estudo e, portanto, devem ser interpretados com cautela. O objetivo deste artigo é realizar criticamente esta abordagem, através de uma revisão da literatura, os erros que podem afetar este tipo de desenho de estudo e as possíveis estratégias para superar esses erros. Resultados e Discussão: Os erros mais conhecidos, presentes no delineamento de estudos caso-controle, foram os relacionados com a seleção e medição. Conclusão: No entanto, embora este tipo de estudo esteja sujeito a possíveis erros, as medidas preventivas postas em prática durante o planejamento de estudos caso-controle e até mesmo durante e após a sua execução podem ajudar a garantir o rigor científico. Esta revisão da literatura pode servir como um instrumento importante para o desenvolvimento e interpretação de estudos de caso-controle. Background and Objectives:Although case-control studies have many advantages, they are vulnerable to biases that can mask the true results of the study and, therefore, should be interpreted with caution. The aim of this article is to critically perform an assessment, through a literature review, of the errors that can affect this type of study design and possible strategies to overcome these errors. Results and Discussion: The best known errors found in the case-control study design are those related to selection and measurements. Conclusion: However, although this type of study is subject to possible errors, preventive measures implemented during the planning of case-control studies and even during and after their employment can help ensure scientific rigor. This literature review can be used as an important tool for the development and interpretation of case-control studies. RESUMO ABSTRACTRecebido em:

Objectif : l’objectif primaire est de produire une traduction franco-canadienne du « STrengthening the Reporting of OBservational studies in Epidemiology » (STROBE) Statement sous l’appellation proposée de l’outil STROBE et d’examiner sa validité transculturelle de contenu. L’objectif secondaire est d’examiner sa fidélité interjuges préliminaire. Méthodologie : l’utilisation d’une approche modifiée de la méthodologie de validation transculturelle de Vallerand fut adoptée. Une traduction renversée parallèle du « STROBE Statement » a d’abord été effectuée à la fois par des professionnels et des cliniciens. Ensuite, un premier comité d’experts (P1) a examiné les versions traduites et a créé l’ébauche expérimentale préliminaire de l’outil STROBE. Celle-ci a été évaluée et modifiée par un deuxième comité d’experts (P2). Finalement, 32 futurs professionnels à la maîtrise en physiothérapie et en ergothérapie ont évalué cette deuxième version expérimentale de l’outil à l’aide d’une échelle d’ambiguïté de 8 points (0 signifiant « aucunement ambigu » et 7 signifiant « extrêmement ambigu »). Les co-chercheurs principaux ont examiné les éléments problématiques et ont proposé les modifications finales. Dix études observationnelles publiées en français après 1980 ont été évaluées par deux juges indépendants à l’aide de la version franco-canadienne de l’outil STROBE. Le coefficient kappa a été utilisé afin d’examiner la fidélité interjuges. Résultats : pour les différents éléments de la version finale de l’outil STROBE, les moyennes sur l’échelle d’ambiguïté varient entre 0,0 et 2,4. Aucun élément n’a obtenu une moyenne en deçà de 2,4 démontrant ainsi un niveau élevé de clarté. La fidélité interjuges ( n = 2) pour l’outil STROBE est considérée comme bonne pour 74 % des éléments individuels selon les valeurs du coefficient kappa obtenues. Conclusion : les cinq étapes rigoureuses du processus ont permis de produire une version franco-canadienne valide de l’outil STROBE.
