Consistency of primary outcomes in evidence synthesis researches on drug-eluting stents for coronary artery disease
The inconsistent specification and limited standardization of primary outcomes in SRs/MAs of DES for CAD may undermine evidence quality. The pathway from "unspecified primary outcomes" to "lack of standardization" to an "incomplete core outcome set" suggests a need for urgent methodological improvement in outcome reporting.
