Core Outcome Sets in Women’s in Newborn Health
We list any COS highlighted to us providing it has been registered with the COMET initiative. The projects are grouped as follows:
Published Core Outcome Sets in Women’s and Newborn Health
| Health problem | Full title | Description | COMET registration number | Links | Funding Body |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Breast surgery | Development of a core outcome set for research and audit studies in reconstructive breast surgery | Appropriate outcome selection is essential if research is to guide decision-making and inform policy. Systematic reviews of the clinical, cosmetic and patient-reported outcomes of reconstructive breast surgery, however, have demonstrated marked heterogeneity, and results from individual studies cannot be compared or combined. Use of a core outcome set may improve the situation. The BRAVO study developed a core outcome set for reconstructive breast surgery | 152 | Full article: Potter et al. the BRAVO Steering Group BJS 2015 | AF2 and MRC ConDucT Hub |
| Diabetes in pregnancy | A core outcome set for studies evaluating the effectiveness of prepregnancy care for women with pregestational diabetes | The aim of this study was to develop a core outcome set (COS) for trials and other studies evaluating the effectiveness of prepregnancy care for women with pregestational (pre-existing) diabetes mellitus | 692 | Full article: Egan et al. Diabetologia 2017 | Health Research Board (Ireland) |
| Epilepsy in pregnancy | Defining core outcomes for clinical trials in pregnant women with epilepsy (E-core): A Delphi survey | The aim of this project is to develop a core outcome set for clinical trials on the management of epilepsy in pregnant women. The objectives are: a) to perform a systematic literature review to produce a comprehensive list of all maternal and neonatal outcomes reported in recent studies of pregnant women with epilepsy; b) to use the Delphi technique to refine the outcome list into a core outcome set agreed by key stakeholders.

| Hirschsprung’s Disease | Development of a Core Outcome Set for use in Infants with Hirschsprung’s Disease | The objective of this study was to develop a Hirschsprung's disease (HD) core outcome set (COS) | 787 | Full article: Allin BSR, Bradnock T, Kenny S et al for NETS1HD Collaboration Arch Dis Child. 2017 | National Institute for Health Research |
| Preterm birth | Core outcome set for studies on primary prevention of preterm birth | The Core outcomes set on primary Prevention Of Preterm birth (COPOP) project used an international multidisciplinary Delphi method to develop consensus on a set of key clinical outcomes for the evaluation of preventive interventions for preterm birth in asymptomatic pregnant women. A total of 228 participants from five stakeholder groups from 10 lower-middle-income and 17 high-income countries scored 31 outcomes. Consensus was reached on 13 core outcomes.

| Maternity Care | Evaluating Maternity Care: A Core Set of Outcome Measures | The aim of this project was to identify a minimum set of outcome measures for evaluating models of maternity care. A 3-round, electronic Delphi survey including a wide range of key, international stakeholders. Members of the panel self-assessed their expertise in evaluating models of maternity care. | 108 | Full article: Devane et al. Birth 2007 | Not stated |
