To review the selection, measurement and reporting of outcomes in studies of interventions in Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH).
We searched the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials from 2000-2020 for randomised trials and observational studies. Outcomes reported were classified into seven key domains modelled on the patient journey.
Our search yielded 118 papers; 27 were eligible. The most frequent domains measured were 'short-term markers of disease activity' (17/27), whereas long-term outcomes (3/27) and outcomes relating to functional health status (8/27) were reported infrequently. There was heterogeneity in the methods and timing of outcome reporting. Primary outcomes were varied and not always clearly stated.
Long-term health and functional outcomes involving interventional studies in CDH are infrequently reported, which hinders the process of shared decision-making and evidence-based healthcare. A CDH core outcome set is needed to standardise outcome reporting that is relevant to both families and healthcare teams.
综述先天性膈疝(CDH)干预研究中结局的选择、测量和报告。
我们从 2000 年至 2020 年检索了 Cochrane 对照试验中心注册库中的随机试验和观察性研究。报告的结局被分类为七个关键领域,这些领域是基于患者的就诊过程建模的。
我们的搜索结果为 118 篇论文;其中 27 篇符合条件。测量最多的领域是“疾病活动的短期标志物”(17/27),而很少报告长期结局(3/27)和与功能健康状况相关的结局(8/27)。结局报告的方法和时间存在异质性。主要结局各不相同,且并不总是明确说明。
涉及 CDH 干预研究的长期健康和功能结局很少被报告,这阻碍了共同决策和循证医疗保健的进程。需要制定一个 CDH 核心结局集,以标准化对家庭和医疗团队都相关的结局报告。
