AB - BackgroundNeonatal research evaluates many different outcomes using multiple measures. This canprevent synthesis of trial results in meta-analyses and selected outcomes may not berelevant to former patients, parents and health professionals.ObjectiveTo define a core outcome set (COS) for research involving infants receiving neonatal care ina high income setting.DesignOutcomes reported in neonatal trials and qualitative studies were systematically reviewed.Stakeholders were recruited for a three-round international Delphi survey. A consensusmeeting was held to confirm the final COS, based upon the survey results.ParticipantsFour hundred and fourteen former patients, parents, healthcare professionals andresearchers took part in the eDelphi survey; 173 completed all 3 rounds. Sixteenstakeholders participated in the consensus meeting.ResultsThe literature reviews identified 104 outcomes; these were included in round one.Participants proposed ten additional outcomes; 114 outcomes were scored in round two andthree. Round one scores showed different stakeholder groups prioritised contrastingoutcomes. Twelve outcomes were included in the final COS: survival, sepsis, necrotisingenterocolitis, brain injury on imaging, general gross motor ability, general cognitive ability,quality of life, adverse events, visual impairment/blindness, hearing impairment /deafness,retinopathy of prematurity and chronic lung disease/bronchopulmonary dysplasia.6Conclusions and relevanceA COS for clinical trials and other research studies involving infants receiving neonatal carein a high-income setting has been identified. This COS for neonatology will help standardiseoutcome selection in clinical trials and ensure these are relevant to those most affected byneonatal care.
