Key result
COSCarP framework aims to standardize outcome reporting in cardio-obstetrics to improve study comparisons.
Why the study?
Inconsistencies in reporting and defining outcomes in cardio-obstetrics studies make it difficult to compare studies and perform meta-analyses.
Highlights the critical need for standardized outcome reporting in cardio-obstetrics research, which is being addressed by the development of the COSCarP core outcome set.
Standardized cardio-obstetrics outcomes will improve evidence synthesis for clinicians; supports consensus by extending core outcome sets across fields.
This systematic review hopes to create awareness among cardio-obstetrics teams about the inconsistencies in reporting and defining outcomes which makes it difficult to compare studies and perform meta-analyses. COSCarP which is being developed through international consensus between patients and care-providers will provide cardio-obstetrics teams with a minimal set of outcomes to be reported in future cardio-obstetrics studies.
