  2. Outline Outline What is a core set and why do we need them? What is a core set and why do we need them? Issues with Trials Issues with Trials Current initiatives to develop core sets Current initiatives to develop core sets Outcome Outcome Measures in Measures in Rheumatology ( Rheumatology (OMERACT OMERACT) Core Outcome Measures in Effectiveness Trials Core Outcome Measures in Effectiveness Trials Core Outcome Measures in Effectiveness Trials Core Outcome Measures in Effectiveness Trials (COMET (COMET) Existing definitions, conceptual structures Existing definitions, conceptual structures and their history and their history OMERACT proposal for core areas of measurement OMERACT proposal for core areas of measurement OM&core Boston 2

  3. Problems with trials Problems with trials Trials are done to evaluate Trials are done to evaluate whether an intervention is effective and safe whether an intervention is effective and safe Choice of measures to reflect benefit and harm Choice of measures to reflect benefit and harm In most areas choices not standardized In most areas choices not standardized In most areas choices not standardized In most areas choices not standardized heterogeneity between trials heterogeneity between trials potential for bias (selective outcome reporting) otential for bias (selective outcome reporting) c choice of measures less relevant to users hoice of measures less relevant to users OM&core Boston 3

  4. Solution Solution Development of Development of trial core sets trial core sets Minimum inimum set of set of outcomes that outcomes that should be should be measured and reported in all clinical trials measured and reported in all clinical trials of of a specific a specific condition condition What is an outcome? What is an outcome? How to decide what belongs in a core set? How to decide what belongs in a core set? OM&core Boston 4
