Patellofemoral pain is a common and often debilitating musculoskeletal condition. Clinical translation and evidence synthesis of patellofemoral pain research are compromised by heterogenous and often inadequately reported study details. This consensus statement and associated checklist provides standards for REPORTing of quantitative PatelloFemoral Pain (REPORT-PFP) research to enhance clinical translation and evidence synthesis, and support clinician engagement with research and data collection. A three-stage Delphi process was initiated at the 2015 International Patellofemoral Research Network (iPFRN) retreat. An initial e-Delphi activity (n=24) generated topics and items, which were refined at the 2017 iPFRN retreat, and voted on prior to and following the 2019 iPFRN retreat (n=51 current and past retreat participants). Voting criteria included ‘strongly recommended’ (essential), ‘recommended’ (encouraged) and uncertain/unsure. An item was included in the checklist if ≥70% respondents voted ‘recommended’. Items receiving ≥70% votes for ‘strongly recommended’ were labelled as such. The final REPORT-PFP checklist includes 31 items (11 strongly recommended, 20 recommended), covering (i) demographics (n=2,4); (ii) baseline symptoms and previous treatments (n=3,7); (iii) outcome measures (2,4); (iv) outcomes measure description (n=1,2); (v) clinical trial methodology (0,3) and (vi) reporting study results (n=3,0). The REPORT-PFP checklist is ready to be used by researchers and clinicians. Strong stakeholder engagement from clinical academics during development means consistent application by the international patellofemoral pain research community is likely. Checklist adherence will improve research accessibility for clinicians and enhance future evidence synthesis.

REPORT-PFP：国际髌股研究网络的共识，以改进定量髌股疼痛研究的报告

髌股关节疼痛是一种常见且经常使肌肉骨骼衰弱的疾病。髌股关节疼痛研究的临床转化和证据综合受到异质性和经常报告不充分的研究细节的影响。该共识声明和相关清单为定量髌股疼痛 (REPORT-PFP) 研究报告提供了标准，以加强临床转化和证据综合，并支持临床医生参与研究和数据收集。2015 年国际髌股研究网络 (iPFRN) 静修会启动了一个三阶段的德尔福过程。最初的 e-Delphi 活动（n=24）产生了主题和项目，在 2017 年 iPFRN 务虚会中进行了改进，并在 2019 年 iPFRN 务虚会之前和之后进行了投票（n=51 当前和过去的务虚会参与者）。投票标准包括“强烈推荐”（基本）、“推荐”（鼓励）和不确定/不确定。如果≥70% 的受访者投票为“推荐”，则该项目将包含在清单中。获得 70% 以上“强烈推荐”投票的项目被标记为此类。最终的 REPORT-PFP 清单包括 31 个项目（强烈推荐 11 个，推荐 20 个），涵盖（i）人口统计（n=2,4）；(ii) 基线症状和既往治疗 (n=3,7)；(iii) 结果测量 (2,4)；(iv) 结果测量描述（n=1,2）；(v) 临床试验方法 (0,3) 和 (vi) 报告研究结果 (n=3,0)。REPORT-PFP 检查表可供研究人员和临床医生使用。在开发过程中，临床学者的强烈利益相关者参与意味着国际髌股疼痛研究界的一致应用是可能的。
