International consensus-based core outcome set for airway management clinical trials and observational studies: the Airway Terminology and Outcome Measures (ATOM) protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Airway management describes a range of commonly performed procedures undertaken to enable invasive respiratory support for patients. Studies of airway management interventions report heterogeneous outcomes, impeding evidence synthesis and translation of findings into clinical practice. A core outcome set is a consensus-based standardised minimum collection of outcomes to be reported in a given area of healthcare. The Airway Terminology and Outcome Measures project aims to define a core outcome set and select outcome measurement instruments for future airway management research.

Methods and analysis

Following a systematic literature search, we generated a list of candidate outcomes by extracting outcomes and their measurement instruments from a random sample of i
