Objectives: Test applicability and additional value of a consultation round after the consensus meeting in the development of core outcome sets (COSs).
Study Design And Setting: In two COS procedures (Core Outcome Set for the prevention and treatment of fetal GROwth restriction: deVeloping Endpoints (COSGROVE) and Definition and Core Outcomes on Hyperemesis Gravida (DCOHG)) that followed the Core Outcome Measures in Effectiveness Trials methodology, the first round of convergence to consensus among stakeholder groups in an online Delphi procedure was followed by a face-to-face consensus meeting during which a COS was formulated. We subsequently presented the COS to the online panel in a consultation round to confirm that the online panel agreed with the choices made at the consensus meeting, defined as 80% agreement.
Article Synopsis
- - Hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) is a severe pregnancy condition resulting in intense nausea and vomiting, which can cause undernutrition and poor maternal weight gain, potentially leading to adverse outcomes for the baby.
- - A systematic review of 61 studies involving over 20 million participants found that HG significantly raises the risks of preterm birth, low birth weight, the need for neonatal resuscitation, NICU admission, and placental abruption.
- - The study also indicated that HG is associated with lower instances of very high birth weights (>4000g) and stillbirths, suggesting a complex relationship between HG and various perinatal outcomes.
Introduction: Prevention of childhood overweight is an important health priority. Evidence synthesis from studies evaluating school-based overweight preventive interventions is hampered by the wealth of different outcomes across studies. Therefore, consensus on a core set of outcomes for school-based overweight prevention studies is needed.
