We recently reported that according to patients and healthcare professionals in breast cancer and nephrology trials, teams conducting the trials got their choice of primary outcome wrong (72% of the time) more often than they got it right (28% of the time). A Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) representative, co-author of this letter, asked (on Twitter) whether PPI contributors had been involved in the design of the original trials and by extension the outcome selection. The purpose of this study was to answer this question.
我们最近报道称,根据乳腺癌和肾病学试验中的患者和医疗保健专业人员的反馈,进行试验的团队在选择主要结果时出错的频率(72%)高于他们选对的频率(28%)。一位患者和公众参与(PPI)代表、这封信的共同作者在 Twitter 上询问,PPI 参与者是否参与了原始试验的设计,以及试验结果的选择。本研究旨在回答这个问题。
