The journal publishes original research, systematic reviews, review articles, case reports, study protocols and short communications in clinical medicine, public and community health, nursing, pharmacy and pharmaceutical sciences, dentistry, applied medical sciences and rehabilitation, and health management and informatics. It welcomes research that improves clinical practice, health services and community health. [The editorial board defines the covered fields precisely.]
Report the study according to the guideline applicable to its design and attach the completed checklist with page numbers: CONSORT for randomised controlled trials, STROBE for observational studies, STARD for diagnostic accuracy studies, PRISMA for systematic reviews, CARE for case reports, SPIRIT for clinical trial protocols and ARRIVE for animal research. For other designs, consult the appropriate guideline in the EQUATOR Network library.
Register clinical trials in a recognised registry before the first participant is enrolled, and give the registration number and date in the abstract and the Methods. Retrospectively registered trials are considered only with a justification accepted by the editorial board.
Authorship follows the criteria recommended by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE): substantial contribution to the design of the work or to the acquisition, analysis or interpretation of data; drafting or critically revising it; approving the final version; and accepting accountability for all aspects of the work. Contributors who do not meet these criteria are acknowledged, and every author discloses funding and competing interests.
Explain the sample-size calculation and the statistical software used, and report primary outcomes with effect sizes and confidence intervals, not p-values alone.
The proposed default is the Vancouver style as recommended by the ICMJE: references are numbered in order of first citation in the text and cited by numbers in square brackets or superscript; the reference list follows the numerical order, journal titles are abbreviated according to the US National Library of Medicine (NLM) lists, and the DOI or PMID is given where available. [The editorial board adopts the final style.]
At submission the author confirms that the work is original and not under consideration elsewhere, and discloses funding, competing interests, ethics approvals, data availability and any use of AI tools, according to the journal's published policies.
[The editorial board sets the journal's fee policy and publishes it here before submissions open.]
