Descriptive statistics for number of authors, time for publication, and quantitative or qualitative yield rates for 195 records analysed in the PROSPERO registry
| Category | Mean, SD | Median | IQR | Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Authors/team members (n=195 publications) | 5, 3 | 5 | 3 | 1–27 |
| Time (in weeks; registered project start to publication date, n=192*) | 67.3, 31.0 | 65.8 | 41.6 | 6–186 |
| Quantitative analysis yield rate (n=82; %) | 2.6, 4.7 | 1.0 | 2.7 | 0.03–32.43 |
| Qualitative analysis yield rate (n=80; %) | 2.7, 4.6 | 1.0 | 2.5 | 0.05–26.19 |
| Merged yield rate (n=190; %†) | 2.94, 6.49 | 0.93 | 2.5 | 0.0–64.71 |
*Three studies were excluded from this calculation because they were registered after the publication date.
†Excludes a small overlap between quantitative and qualitative studies when information was not provided in the publication to differentiate between the categories.
