This study aims to define a set of family-centred core outcomes for infants undergoing brace treatment to facilitate consistent reporting for future high-quality research.
Family-centred outcomes will be identified through a literature review and a scoping survey involving key stakeholders, including parents, healthcare professionals, and researchers. These outcomes will then be rated for their perceived importance in a two-stage modified Delphi process with the same stakeholders. Finally, a consensus meeting will be held to establish the final core outcome set (COS).
The impact of brace treatment on the family is profound, but seldom considered in randomized controlled trials. This COS can independently standardize reporting on the family's experience, and potentially become part of a broader COS for developmental dysplasia of the hip in infants undergoing brace treatment.
本研究旨在为接受支具治疗的婴儿确定一套以家庭为中心的核心结局,以促进未来高质量研究的一致报告。
通过文献综述和涉及关键利益相关者(包括父母、医疗保健专业人员和研究人员)的范围界定调查来确定以家庭为中心的结局。然后,在与相同利益相关者进行的两阶段改良德尔菲过程中,对这些结局的感知重要性进行评分。最后,将召开一次共识会议以确定最终的核心结局集(COS)。
支具治疗对家庭的影响是深远的,但在随机对照试验中很少被考虑。这个COS可以独立规范关于家庭体验的报告,并有可能成为接受支具治疗的婴儿髋关节发育不良更广泛COS的一部分。
