Biomedical research largely involves observation. Published results are often not properly documented which hampers assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of a study. That is why STROBE (Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology) was developed. Recommendations for cohort, case-control and cross-sectional studies have been prepared in the form of a checklist of 22 items, presented in this paper.

Keywords: STROBE, observational studies, recommendation for publication
