Choosing outcomes for a core outcome set: does provision of feedback between delphi survey rounds help prioritise items?
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background A core outcome set (COS) is a minimal set of outcomes to be reported in a trial. Development is often challenging because patients and clinicians identify many important outcomes and prioritisation is difficult. Delphi surveys (with several rounds) are one approach for prioritising outcomes. Summarised participant responses are provided in subsequent ‘rounds’, allowing initial responses to be changed in light of this feedback. While developing a COS for obesity surgery, we explored the impact of this feedback on outcome prioritisation.
