Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To develop a core outcome set (COS), an agreed minimum set of outcomes to measure and report in all studies evaluating the introduction and evaluation of novel surgical techniques. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: Agreement on the key outcomes to measure and report for safe and efficient surgical innovation is lacking, hindering transparency and risking patient harm. METHODS: Agreement on the key outcomes to measure and report for safe and efficient surgical innovation is lacking, hindering transparency and risking patient harm. RESULTS: 7,972 verbatim outcomes were identified, categorized into 32 domains, and formatted into survey items/questions. 410 international participants (220 professionals, 190 patients/public) completed at least one round 1 survey item, of which 153 (69.5%) professionals and 116 (61.1%) patients completed at least one round 2 item. 12 outcomes were scored ‘consensus in’ (‘very important’ by ≥70% of patients and professionals) and 20 ‘no consensus’. A consensus meeting, involving 19 professionals and 10 patient/public representatives, led to agreement on a final 8-domain COS. Six domains are specific to a surgical innovation context: modifications, unexpected disadvantages, device problems, technical procedure success, whether the overall desired effect was achieved, surgeons’/operators’ experience. Two domains relate to intended benefits and expected disadvantages. CONCLUSIONS: The COS is recommended for use in all studies prior to definitive RCT evaluation to promote safe, transparent, and efficient surgical innovation.
