ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To date, the recording of outcomes of interventions for velopharyngeal dysfunction (VPD) has not been standardized. This makes a comparison of results between studies challenging. The aim of this study was to develop a core outcome set (COS) for reporting outcomes in studies examining the management of VPD.DESIGN:
A two-round Delphi consensus process was used to develop the COS. PATIENTS,PARTICIPANTS:
The expert Delphi panel comprised patients and caregivers of patients with VPD, surgeons and speech and language therapists specializing in cleft palate, and researchers with expertise in VPD.INTERVENTIONS:
A long list of outcomes was derived from the published literature. In each round of a Delphi survey, participants were asked to score outcomes using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluations scale of 1 to 9, with 1 to 3 labeled "not important," 4 to 6 labeled "important but not critical," and 7 to 9 labeled "critical." MAIN OUTCOMEMEASURE:
Consensus criteria were specified a priori. Outcomes with a rating of 75% or more of the panel rating 7 to 9 and 25% or fewer rating 1 to 3 were included in the COS.RESULTS:
A total of 31 core outcomes were identified from the Delphi process. This list was condensed to combine topic areas to produce a final COS of 10 outcomes, including both processes of care and patient-reported outcomes that should be considered for reporting in future studies of VPD.CONCLUSIONS:
Implementation of the COS-VPD will facilitate consistency of outcomes data collection and comparison of results across studies.Palabras clave
