What to Measure? Development of a Core Outcome Set to Assess Remote Technologies for Cochlear Implant Users.

ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives: Uptake of remote cochlear implant (CI) services is feasible in clinical studies, but implementation into regular clinical practice is limited. Effective implementation requires demonstration of at least equivalent outcomes to in-person care. Use of outcome measures (e.g., specific tools such as speech tests or surveys) that are relevant and sensitive to both modes of service facilitates evidence-based provision of CI services. Following our previous study, which developed a core outcome domain set (CODS) (i.e., a set of CI outcome areas important to measure), this study aimed to (1) review current awareness and use of outcome measures implemented clinically, in-person, or remotely; and (2) provide recommendations for a pragmatic core outcome set (COS) to asses
