Development of a core outcome set for interventions to prevent stillbirth.

Aims: To develop a core outcome set for trials investigating interventions to prevent stillbirth.

Materials & Methods: Outcomes identified from a systematic literature review and semi-structured interviews with parents in Australia and the UK were entered into a two-round online Delphi survey and focus group/consensus meetings.

Results: A core outcome set containing 11 outcomes in two categories.

Developing a core outcome set in interventions to prevent stillbirth: A systematic review on variations of outcome reporting.

Objective: To determine which outcomes have been previously reported in previous stillbirth prevention studies.

Research Design: Systematic review of reviews: We searched the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, EMBASE and Pubmed for systematic reviews and meta- analyses investigating interventions to prevent stillbirth and its major risk factors.

Data Collection And Analysis: Two reviewers identified and extracted outcomes independently.
