The CONSORT–Children and Adolescents (CONSORT-C) 2026 guideline is an extension of the CONSORT 2025 statement, designed to improve the reporting quality and completeness of pediatric randomized controlled trials involving patients aged 0 to 19 years.
Developed with input from young people and family caregivers, CONSORT-C 2026 includes 13 additional items that reflect the priorities of clinicians, researchers, and families.
Widespread adoption of this guideline may enhance transparency and reproducibility, support critical appraisal and synthesis of trial findings, and minimize research waste in pediatric studies.
