The document discusses reporting guidelines for stepped wedge trials. It notes that there are currently no tailored reporting guidelines for stepped wedge trials, but recommends following the CONSORT 2010 extension for cluster randomized trials in the meantime. A CONSORT extension for stepped wedge trials is currently being developed. The document provides some preliminary reporting recommendations for stepped wedge trials, including defining the trial design, justifying the sample size, accounting for clustering and time effects in the analysis, and reporting results by exposure to the intervention with a schematic of the design.
