All rights reserved.Objective: This study was carried out in order to create the Turkish version of the Anaesthesia Case Report (ACRE) criteria, to increase the quality of perioperative case reports in the field of anaesthesiology and reanimation and to establish a standard in this field. Methods: These criterias were translated into Turkish independently by authors and then a draft was determined.In order to ensure language equivalence, the adapted checklist was checked by an expert translator and the final version was created by making necessary corrections. Then, 20 case reports published between 2016 and 2021, indexed in the Turkish Medical Index, were examined by two independent specialists in the field of anaesthesiology and reanimation. Finally, inter-rater agreement was evaluated using the Bland-Altman method by calculating the intra-class correlation coefficient (CCT) and agreement percentages. Results: The case report studies analyzed as a result of the evaluations made differed in the reporting frequency of the criteria. Although CCT values varied between 0.484 and 0.905, the agreement between anaesthesiology and reanimation specialists was statistically significant (p<0.05). According to the Bland-Altman chart, agreement was found between the raters. Conclusion: Although ACRE criteria are rarely required for the review of perioperative case reports, there is solid evidence that standardized reporting guidelines improve the reporting quality of studies. It is thought that ACRE will bring a measurable standard status to case reports, and it will be beneficial and guide for researchers who will work in the field of anaesthesiology and reanimation in our country.
