It is increasingly recognised that insufficient attention has been given to the choice of outcomes that are measured in clinical research, often neglecting those of greatest importance to decision-makers, including patients and the public.
In this talk Paula Williamson will introduce core outcome sets (COS), recommended for consideration in the recently launched WHO Guidance for Best Practices for Clinical Trials. The presentation will include an analysis of what is known about and influences the uptake of COS in the wider healthcare research ecosystem, where a COS is defined as an agreed standardized set of outcomes that should be measured and reported, as a minimum, in all clinical trials in a specific area of health or health care.
Paula Williamson is Professor of Medical Statistics at the University of Liverpool. Her research programme has focussed on several aspects of evidence-based medicine (EBM) including clinical trials, meta-analysis, health outcome selection, and reducing waste in research.
