Abstract

Clinical research aims to enhance the quality of life of our patients and improve the cost-effectiveness of therapeutic interventions. To assess the efficacy and effectiveness of an intervention, clinical researchers employ a variety of outcome measures, which fall under true, surrogate, or composite outcomes categories. Concerning outcome measures, two questions arise: (1) How relevant are these outcomes to our stakeholders (patients, providers, and policymakers)? (2) How accurately do these measures assess the change in the quality of life of our patients after an intervention? The solution to the first question lies in the development of core outcome sets (COS) based on input from stakeholders. To appropriately address the latter question, it is of paramount importance to incorporate dental patient-reported outcome measures (dPROMs) in clinical trials. Therefore, developing COS that include dPROMs for a particular intervention is critical for addressing the above questions and elevating the level of clinical research in the dental field.

核心成果集以及我们为什么应该接受它们。
临床研究旨在提高患者的生活质量,改善治疗干预措施的成本效益。为了评估干预措施的疗效和有效性,临床研究人员采用了各种结果测量方法,包括真实结果、替代结果或综合结果等类别。关于结果测量,有两个问题:(1) 这些结果与我们的利益相关者(患者、医疗服务提供者和决策者)有多大关系?(2) 这些测量结果如何准确评估干预后患者生活质量的变化?第一个问题的解决方案在于根据利益相关者的意见制定核心结果集(COS)。1 因此,开发包含特定干预措施的 dPROMs 的核心结果集对于解决上述问题和提高口腔医学领域的临床研究水平至关重要。
