“…First, until recently, there was lack of aggregated evidence on the efficacy of various treatment options for HG. The Cochrane review [6] and systematic review of McParlin et al [25] both concluded that there is little high-quality evidence supporting any intervention for HG treatment and highlighted the need for more high-quality trials and a uniform definition and core outcome set for HG [6, 26]. However, they did emphasize that some antiemetic medication is effective for treating HG.…”

Introduction Hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) medical therapies are currently of limited effect, which creates a larger role for patient preferences in the way HG care is arranged. This is the first study using in-depth interviews to investigate patients' preferences and experiences of HG treatment. Materials and Methods We conducted individual in-depth interviews among women who had been hospitalized for HG in North Holland at least once in the past 4 years. We asked them about their experiences, preferences, and suggestions for improvement regarding the HG treatment they received. The sample size was determined by reaching data saturation. Themes were identified from analysis of the interview transcripts. Results and Discussion 13 women were interviewed. Interviewees emphasized the importance of early recognition of the severity of HG, increasing caregivers' knowledge on HG, early medical intervention, and nasogastric tube feeding. They valued a single room in hospital, discussion of treatment options, more possibilities of home-treatment, psychological support during HG and after childbirth, and more uniform information and policies regarding HG treatment. Conclusion Further research is needed to establish whether the suggestions can lead to more (cost) effective care and improve the course of HG and outcomes for HG patients and their children.

“…The adoption of this COS should help when developing research protocols and allow better comparison of findings from individual studies. 17,18 It also widens the scope of studies beyond reporting mortality only and should promote more focus on morbidity. The Standard Protocol Items: Recommendations for Interventional Trials Statement 19 and Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials Statement, 20 which outline the best practice in study design, recommend the use of a COS.…”

“…Furthermore, the UK National Institute for Health Research Health Technology Assessment funding stream states that, where a COS exists, it should be included in the study design. 18 Previous working groups aiming to achieve standardised endpoints within healthcare 21,22 have seldom adopted a formal consensus gathering process, such as the one used in this study. 23 A review of healthcare guideline development by Wang and colleagues 24 found that >30% did not report how a consensus was gained and the remaining did so poorly.…”

Background: Perioperative studies of patients following hip fracture have large heterogeneity within their reported outcomes. This study aimed to develop a core outcome set for use in perioperative studies comparing the types of anaesthesia for hip fracture surgery. Methods: The consensus process consisted of a systematic review of the literature, three rounds of a Delphi survey, two consensus webinars, and face-to-face patient meetings. Results: The Delphi participants represented nine stakeholder groups. The numbers of participants completing Rounds 1e3 were 242, 186, and 169, respectively. Seventeen outcomes that met the predefined consensus criteria were considered at two consensus meetings. A final set of 10 core outcomes was agreed: mortality, time from injury to surgery, acute coronary syndrome, hypotension, acute kidney injury, delirium, pneumonia, orthogeriatric input, being out of bed at day 1, and pain. Conclusions: We generated a consensus-based set of core outcomes recommended for use in all perioperative trials evaluating the effects of anaesthesia for hip fracture surgery. An important next step is developing consensus-based consistency on how they should be measured. Clinical trial registration: http://www.comet-initiative.org/studies/details/757.

“…With this study, we aim to fill this knowledge gap, by comparing participants taking a first aid certification course, with or without the use of real-life simulated patients. At the moment no standard set of outcomes for educational interventions has been established by the COMET initiative (Gargon, 2016). The outcomes knowledge, skills, behavior and confidence are however widely used in education intervention studies and first aid education intervention studies specifically (He et al, 2014;Krathwohl, 2002;Simpson, 1966).…”

Evaluating the Impact of Simulated Patients on Knowledge, Skills and Attitudes of Laypeople Following a Basic First Aid Course: Protocol for a Cluster-Randomized Controlled Trial

Methods: This study will be a cluster-randomized controlled trial that will take place from September 2018 to June 2020. The study population will consist of employees from several organizations taking a three-day first aid certification course with the Belgian Red Cross. The organizations requesting a first aid course will be randomized in receiving a course with or without simulated patient. The simulated patient will only be used for the topics "first aid for burns" and "first aid for stroke" in the intervention group. The participants will complete a questionnaire to measure their knowledge and self-efficacy and complete a practical skills test after the course testing these first aid topics. To test whether the retention of first aid knowledge and self-efficacy is influenced by using a simulated patient during a certification course, participants following a refresher course one year after the certification course will complete a follow-up questionnaire. Conclusion: This cluster-randomized controlled trial will be, to our knowledge, the first to investigate the added value of simulated patients during first aid courses for laypeople.
