Objective To investigate the current status of systematic reviews/meta-analyses (SRs/MAs) registered in PROSPERO by Chinese authors, in order to provide references for improving the registration rate and quality, and finally improve the quality of SRs/MAs. Methods We searched PROSPERO (http://www.crd.york.ac.uk/crdweb/) from inception to December 31, 2014, to identify SRs/MAs registered by Chinese authors. Two reviewers independently screened records and extracted data. Excel 2013 was used for data input and management, and Stata 12.0 software was used for statistical analysis (Stata Corp., College Station, TX, USA). Results A total of 322 SRs/MAs were included. There was an increasing trend in registration number by year, and 60.6% was registered in 2014. The type of SRs/MAs was mainly the interventional (n=247, 76.7%). These SRs/MAs were related to 21 systematic diseases, and cancer ranked the top one (65, 20.2%). The authors distributed in 26 provinces, and majority of authors' institutes were "Evidence-Based Medicine Center". More than half (56.2%) of SRs/MAs were supported by fundings, but only 39.8% of SRs/MAs were performed cooperatively by two or more institutes. Conclusion There is a rapid increase in numbers of SRs/MAs registered in PROSPERO by Chinese authors, but the absolute number is still small. The problems include the weakness of cooperative consciousness and lake of awareness in registering SRs/MAs.
