Overview

Interventional studies in pouch anal and vaginal fistula show reduced outcomes, highlighting the need for standardization.

Key Points

  • Seven core outcomes were established for pouch anal and vaginal fistula, enhancing standardization in research.
  • The core outcome set stems from a systematic review and 14 patient interviews, initially identifying 99 potential outcomes.
  • The methodology involved a Delphi exercise with 70 stakeholders, refining outcomes to prioritize patient-centered measures.
  • PAVFCOS sets a precedent for future studies, aiming to improve outcome reporting in pouch anal and vaginal fistula management.
