- Advances in laboratory techniques have led to the increasing use of biomarkers in epidemiological studies, but the quality of reporting of such studies varies.
- The STROBE (STrengthening Reporting of Observational studies in Epidemiology) initiative, established in 2004, provides guidance on reporting observational epidemiology studies.
- Here, the STROBE-ME (Strengthening the Reporting of OBservational studies in Epidemiology – Molecular Epidemiology) initiative builds on STROBE and provides additional guidance on reporting biomarker studies.
- Specific additions relate to the collection, handling and storage of biological samples; laboratory methods, validity and reliability of biomarkers; specificities of study design; and ethical considerations.
- A checklist to help authors in reporting biomarker studies is published as supporting information (Table S1).
