Description

Bronwen Connolly and co-authors build a core outcome set for trials of physical rehabilitation in critical illness. Past trials chose outcomes in unlike ways, which blocks pooling of results and hurts clinical choices. A shared set would let future trials speak to each other.

An online Delphi process ran in two rounds with 329 people from twenty-six countries: researchers, clinicians, and patients and caregivers. From thirty-two starting outcomes, eight reached agreement as critical for all groups. They are physical function, daily living activities, survival, health-related quality of life, exercise capacity, cognitive function, emotional and mental well-being, and frailty. The next step is to pick how each should be measured.
