[h=3]Abstract[/h] [h=4]BACKGROUND:[/h] Population-based serologic studies are a vital tool for understanding the epidemiology of influenza and other respiratory viruses, including the early assessment of the transmissibility and severity of the 2009 influenza pandemic, and MERS-CoV. However, interpretation of the results of serologic studies have been hampered by the diversity of approaches and the lack of standardized methods and reporting.
[h=4]OBJECTIVE:[/h] The objective of the CONSISE ROSES-I statement is to improve the quality and transparency of reporting of influenza seroepidemiologic studies and facilitate assessment of the validity and generalizability of published results.
[h=4]METHODS:[/h] The ROSES-I statement was developed as an expert consensus of the CONSISE epidemiology and laboratory working groups. The recommendations are presented in the familiar format of a reporting guideline. Since seroepidemiologic studies are a specific type of observational epidemiology study, the ROSES-I statement is built upon the STROBE guidelines. As such the ROSES-I statement should be seen as an extension of the STROBE guidelines.
[h=4]RESULTS:[/h] The ROSES-I statement presents 42 items that can be used as a checklist of the information that should be included in the results of published seroepidemiologic studies, and which can also serve as a guide to the items that need to be considered during study design and implementation.
[h=4]CONCLUSIONS:[/h] We hope that the ROSES-I Statement will contribute to improving the quality of reporting of seroepidemiologic studies. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
