Assessing the Quality of Breast Reconstruction Outcomes Reporting: A 5-Year Scoping Review
This study found significant gaps in outcomes reporting with regard to study design, complications included, and definitions used. There was little improvement in outcomes reporting from 2015 to 2021 compared with the period from 2000 to 2014. This study supports the need for outcomes reporting standards in breast reconstruction to improve study generalizability and quality.
