Uptake of core outcome sets in paediatric clinical trials: a protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

A growing number of paediatric core outcome sets (COS) have been developed in the past 20 years. Previous studies have provided many useful insights into the uptake of COS. In addition to the awareness of COS among clinical trialists, the COS development process (especially patient participation) and the actions of the developers can promote COS uptake. However, the uptake of COS in paediatric clinical trials needs to be further explored. The aim of this study is to provide information on the rationale and use of paediatric COS in clinical trials, and to analyse in depth the awareness and views of COS developers and clinical trialists about the development and use of COS.

Methods and analysis

We will include all paediatric COS identified in our previous systemat
