AI Article Synopsis
- Standardised reporting of results after surgeries is really important for understanding how well different treatments work and improving patient care.
- The Outcome4medicine group has suggested new ways to check how good surgical procedures are and make them better.
- Another team called StEP-COMPAC created specific ways to measure serious health problems and death after surgery, and they all agree that it's essential to listen to different people's opinions when assessing these outcomes.
Article Abstract
Standardised and universal perioperative endpoint reporting are the cornerstone for outcomes assessment, reliable clinical trials, and health services research. The Outcome4medicine initiative recently reported consensus recommendations on how to assess the quality of surgical interventions, proposing a framework for surgical outcome assessment and quality improvement after medical interventions. In the same field, the Standardised Endpoints in Perioperative Medicine - Core Outcome Measures for Perioperative and Anaesthetic Care (StEP-COMPAC) group recently proposed standardised and valid measures of mortality and morbidity, derived from a three-stage Delphi process. Here a core group of the Outcome4medicine conference discusses how these two initiatives are aligned and emphasises the importance of standardised outcome assessment by integrating the perspectives of different stakeholders.
