Background

When research is synthesised in systematic reviews it becomes clear that studies often overlook outcomes of importance to patients and that different outcomes as well as different methods or timepoints are used when assessing outcomes. This detracts from the potential to synthesise the results of different studies and as a result, the scientific evidence to support many treatment procedures is weakened. It is important that clinical studies use outcomes which are meaningful when patients and healthcare personnel are to make a decision, for example about type of treatment.

A core outcome set (COS) is an agreed standardised set of outcomes that should be assessed and reported, as a minimum, in all clinical trials in specific areas of health or health care (Figure 1). The outcomes to be included in different COS are selected by a consensus process in which healthcare personnel, researchers and patients should be included [1]. The aim with developing and implementing COS is that the results from various studies can be more readily comparable and collated, so that the basis for decisions, for patients and healthcare personnel, is therefore strengthened.

The main target groups for the report are researchers and research funders. The findings may also be of interest to professional associations, organizations and units involved in maternity/obstetric care. The project has been commissioned by the Swedish government, as part of its efforts for the promotion of women’s health.

Aim

The aim is to inventory, compile and analyse existing and ongoing studies which prioritize core outcomes within the field of maternity care (so-called Core Outcome Set (COS)). The report also highlights fields of potential interest for production of new COS, based on the opinions of patients, researchers and healthcare personnel.

Method

In order to identify completed and ongoing COS in the field of maternity care, a search of the literature was conducted (Appendix 1), followed by a summary of studies in the field.

We have also investigated how well the identified COS studies fulfil the proposed reporting criteria, using a checklist modified after Core Outcome Set–STAndards for Reporting (COS-STAR) (Appendix 2) [2]. In order to gain an indication of topics for which there may be a demand for new COS, an open questionnaire was posted on SBU´s website. This allowed relevant interested parties (primarily patients and their relatives, healthcare personnel and researchers) to nominate fields within maternal health which they considered warranted a COS.

The protocol is registered in Prospero and the COMET initiative database.

Among these, the main aim for 12 was to develop a COS for future research [3-14]. In the remaining seven studies, outcomes were also prioritized, but the main aim of the studies somewhat varied [15-21]. The primary aim of two articles was to prioritize future research questions, and this included prioritizing the outcomes to be assessed [15,21]. Two other articles investigated which outcomes should be prioritized in a composite outcome while other studies considered which outcomes should be assessed in clinical follow-up of patients [16-20]. Of the 19 studies identified, nine met the reporting criteria for COS-studies well [3,4,7-10,12-14]. In addition to these studies, 39 COS-studies in progress were identified: for ten of these, protocols were published (Appendix 4) [22-31].

Most of the COS-studies identified (both completed and ongoing) focused on physical conditions and complications during pregnancy. There was also several COS for different preventive measures during pregnancy.

The result show that COS exist or are under development for many of the specified conditions highlighted by SBU’s open questionnaire, for example gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, maternal birth injuries, miscarriage and stillbirth. The results disclose however a lack of existing COS or COS under development, for mental health problems or mental illness during or after pregnancy.

Of 2543 records through database searching included 58 studies: 19 finished and 39 ongoing studies. Flow chart

Discussion

In the research fields of women’s health and neonatal health, an international network, called CoRe Outcomes in Women’s and Newborn health (CROWN), has been established [32]. It is led by journal editors, and aims to address the widespread, unwarranted variation in reporting of outcomes, which makes comparison between and combination of results across studies difficult, if not impossible. As a result, there is currently considerable activity in the development of various COS in the field of maternity care.

It is however important to point out that there remain many important subfields within obstetrics/childbirth where there are no COS. This applies for example to vaginal delivery and caesarean section, topics nominated in SBU:s questionnaire, primarily by healthcare personnel and researchers. Other fields which completely lack existing COS or COS under development are mental health issues or illness during pregnancy and after childbirth.

COS is a relatively new concept in the world of research. This is the first time SBU has presented an overview of completed and ongoing COS. The aim is that this report shall contribute to dissemination of knowledge about what a COS is, which COS are established within maternal health and which are under development. Moreover, the report can contribute to increasing the potential for Swedish researchers to apply existing COS and to participate in development of COS developed by international actors. As an HTA-organisation, SBU supports the use of COS: in the long term, COS can contribute to scientific evidence of higher certainty. For a COS to be implemented effectively, SBU believes that it is important to discuss how broad the field, for which the COS applies, should be, and how many outcomes can be included in a practically applicable COS. Moreover, it is important to continue to work with various instruments in order to appraise the methodology of established COS and the representativity of the stakeholders who participated in the consensus process.
