- The OMERACT Composite Working Group held a workshop in 2023 to discuss how to effectively weight components in composite outcomes, highlighting its complexities.
- The workshop included presentations on composite outcomes, a patient narrative, and engaging activities for participants to rank and assign weights to different domains.
- Findings revealed challenges in achieving consensus on domain importance, emphasizing the need for systematic methods and the inclusion of patient perspectives in future composite outcome research.
Objective: To define and select rheumatoid arthritis (RA)-specific core domain set for Longitudinal Observational Studies (LOS) within the Outcome Measures in Rheumatology (OMERACT) framework.
Methods: A three-round online Delphi exercise, including patient research partners (PRPs) and other community partners in healthcare, was conducted. Domains scored 7-9 (i.
Objectives: Imaging is one of the most rapidly evolving fields in medicine. Unfortunately, many imaging technologies have been applied as measurement instruments without rigorous evaluation of the evidence supporting their truth, discriminatory capability and feasibility for that context of use. The Outcome Measures in Rheumatology (OMERACT) Filter 2.

Methods: Guided by OMERACT Filter 2.1, candidate domains were identified from data generated in interviews, in English or French, with persons with KHOA and health professionals (HPs) who treat OA.
