The Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology (RANO)-Cares working group investigated the methodological quality of neuro-oncology caregiver outcomes reporting in randomized controlled trials (RCTs).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>A systematic review was performed to evaluate to what extent RCTs assessing outcomes of caregivers of adult primary brain tumor patients adhere to minimum reporting standards. A 33-item checklist (23 applicable to secondary analysis reports) based on the International Society for Quality of Life Research (ISOQOL) criteria for patient-reported outcome reporting was used. Risk of bias was assessed per RCT.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Fifteen publications from 11 unique RCTs included 676 neuro-oncology caregivers, with low overall risk of bias. Ten publications (66%) reported on caregiver outcomes as a primary aim, of which 8 (80%) satisfied \u22652\/3 of the key methodological criteria. Of the 5 secondary analysis reports (33%), 2 (40%) met \u22652\/3 of applicable key criteria. Criteria often not reported adequately included sample size calculations (reported adequately in n\u2005=\u20058, 53%), participant flow (n\u2005=\u20059, 60%) window for data collection (n\u2005=\u20051, 6%), and extent of (n\u2005=\u200510, 66%), reasons for (n\u2005=\u20059, 60%), and statistical approaches in dealing with (n\u2005=\u20054, 26%) missing data.<\/jats:p>\n
