Article Synopsis
- The study looked at important problems (like death and organ failure) that can happen after surgery and aimed to create clear measures to track them.
- They found a strong agreement on measuring deaths at 30 days and 1 year after surgery, which are recommended to use.
- However, they couldn't agree on any good ways to measure organ failure, and only one method, Clavien-Dindo, was suggested for tracking problems after surgery but needs more work to be reliable.
Background: Outcome selection underpins clinical trial interpretation. Inconsistency in outcome selection and reporting hinders comparison of different trials' results, reducing the utility of research findings.
Methods: We conducted an iterative consensus process to develop a set of Core Outcome Measures for Perioperative and Anaesthetic Care (COMPAC), following the established Core Outcome Measures for Effectiveness Trials (COMET) methodology.
Background: Patient-centred outcomes are increasingly used in perioperative clinical trials. The Standardised Endpoints in Perioperative Medicine (StEP) initiative aims to define which measures should be used in future research to facilitate comparison between studies and to enable robust evidence synthesis.
Methods: A systematic review was conducted to create a longlist of patient satisfaction, health-related quality of life, functional status, patient well-being, and life-impact measures for consideration.
Background: Maximising patient comfort during and after surgery is a primary concern of anaesthetists and other perioperative clinicians, but objective measures of what constitutes patient comfort in the perioperative period remain poorly defined. The Standardised Endpoints in Perioperative Medicine initiative was established to derive a set of standardised endpoints for use in perioperative clinical trials.
Methods: We undertook a systematic review to identify measures of patient comfort used in the anaesthetic, surgical, and other perioperative literature.
