Core outcome set of daily monitoring of gastrointestinal function in adult critically ill patients: a modified Delphi consensus process (COSMOGI).

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Gastrointestinal (GI) dysfunction is common in critically ill patients and associated with poor outcomes. There is a lack of standardised methods for daily monitoring of GI function. COSMOGI aimed to develop a Core Outcome Set (COS) for daily monitoring of GI function to improve consistency and comparability in future studies in critically ill patients.

Methods

A modified Delphi consensus process engaging healthcare providers, clinical researchers, and patient representatives was performed. A systematic review identified existing parameters to monitor GI function, informing the development of potential outcomes. In Stage 1, participants rated outcomes (i.e., variables used for daily monitoring). In Stage 2, they refined and agreed on the definitions for the selected
