Without a complete published description of interventions, clinicians and patients cannot reliably implement interventions that are shown to be useful, other researchers replicate or build on research findings. The quality in publications, however, is remarkably poor. To improve the completeness reporting, ultimately replicability, an international group experts stakeholders developed Template for Intervention Description Replication (TIDieR) checklist guide. process involved literature...
