 This study revisited seven major medical journals to assess whether their recommendations on statistical analysis of pilot studies have changed practice. They also conducted a survey to identify the methodological components in registered research studies that are described as pilot or feasibility studies. The results showed that 54 pilot or feasibility studies were published in 2007-08, with most incorporating hypothesis testing, a control arm, and randomization procedures. However, only eight out of 90 pilot studies identified by the earlier review led to subsequent main studies. The study found no clear distinction in use of the term's pilot and feasibility, and five journal editors were reluctant to publish studies described as pilot. The authors proposed clarifying terminology to improve reporting practices for pilot and feasibility studies.
