STROBE Statement (Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology)

The STROBE Statement is a set of guidelines designed to improve how researchers report observational studies, which examine health outcomes in people without intervening. It ensures that studies are transparent, clear, and detailed enough for others to understand, evaluate, and replicate. By following these standards, researchers enhance the quality, accuracy, and reliability of their findings, helping healthcare professionals and policymakers make better-informed decisions based on well-reported research.
