Materials and Methods: STROCSS criteria were translated to Turkish by three authors (E.D., C.A., M.A.T.) separately, and a consensus was reached for the final version with Y.Y.’s guidance. The quality of reporting of 10 surgical cohort studies published in the TR index between 2010 and 2018, using a Turkish-adapted checklist, was evaluated by an academic physician (İ.Ş.T., G.D., Ü.M., G.D., M.E.) in five different surgical specialties.
