The reporting guideline SPIRIT guides the reporting of protocols of clinical trials. This project aims to systematically develop, test and effectively disseminate an extension of SPIRIT specifically for studies conducted using cohorts and routinely collected data (RCD): the SPIRIT-ROUTINE. The project comprises five stages: 1- project launch, steering group gathering and definition of the scope of the extension; 2 - rapid literature review including other key reporting guidelines; 3 - two-round Delphi exercise; 4 - virtual consensus meeting that will finalise the items to include in the extension; 5 - publication preparation and dissemination of the final checklist. The group plans to publish the project protocol soon. The final publication of the reporting guideline is planned as an open-access document.
