The article introduces the Enhancing Transparency in Reporting the Synthesis of Qualitative Research (ENTREQ) statement, a framework designed to improve the transparency and comprehensiveness of reporting in qualitative health research syntheses. The development of ENTREQ involved a comprehensive search for relevant guidance and reviews, followed by the creation of an initial checklist based on inductive reasoning from existing qualitative research synthesis guides and methodologies. This checklist was piloted against 40 published syntheses to refine and validate the items. The final ENTREQ statement consists of 21 items grouped into five main domains: introduction, methods and methodology, literature search and selection, appraisal, and synthesis of findings. The statement aims to help researchers and reviewers improve the reporting of qualitative health research syntheses, providing a tool to clarify concepts and terms used in the process. The authors emphasize that while ENTREQ is not an absolute framework, it serves as a valuable resource for those conducting and reviewing qualitative syntheses, and they welcome feedback for further development.The article introduces the Enhancing Transparency in Reporting the Synthesis of Qualitative Research (ENTREQ) statement, a framework designed to improve the transparency and comprehensiveness of reporting in qualitative health research syntheses.
