A review of patient and carer participation and the use of qualitative research in the development of core outcome sets

Abstract: BackgroundTo be meaningful, a core outcome set (COS) should be relevant to all stakeholders including patients and carers. This review aimed to explore the methods by which patients and carers have been included as participants in COS development exercises and, in particular, the use and reporting of qualitative methods.MethodsIn August 2015, a search of the Core Outcomes Measures in Effectiveness Trials (COMET) database was undertaken to identify papers involving patients and carers in COS development.

“…Researchers are not evaluated as performance partners within research manuscripts, but their research is evaluated after peer reviewed publication and impact is evaluated by external parties. Research prioritization and the development of core outcome sets as stand‐alone exercises hinder widespread usage. DUETS UK previously provided a platform where those navigating public preferences, priorities, and research questions could find common ground, but DUETS was subsumed by NICE and not maintained .…”

“…This strategy also allowed for purposive selection of a panel to ensure representation of a range of stakeholders from different countries and health care systems with both professional and patient representation. 24 Panelists achieved a high level of consensus after the first round for 11 outcomes. The level seen is higher than might have been expected.…”

“…We used this approach to ensure that panelists could make independent judgments and avoid moving toward a group average score. 24 Guidance on the use of Delphi techniques recommends that a measure of distribution around final scores should be reported, which we have done. Reporting of the final scores alone can mask major disagreement within the group, which might be the case if there was a wide distribution around scores.…”

“…Although some COS teams do not actively engage public stakeholders in the identification of outcomes for the inventory, many will try to identify outcomes from parent/patient/public for the inventory. However, this tends to be done using stand‐alone, original qualitative research that can be expensive and time consuming, often only sampling a small and very specific population . Research that explores the perspectives, opinions, or experiences of the public should inform the range of outcome domains identified for COS development .…”
