Defining domains: developing consensus-based definitions for foundational domains in OMERACT core outcome sets
Authors' conclusion
Using a consensus-based approach, we have created a detailed definition for five of the foundational domains in OMERACT core domain sets; patient global assessment requires further research.
Study context
- Population
- OMERACT working groups, patient research partners and the OMERACT Technical Advisory Group; six foundational domains (pain intensity, pain interference, physical function, fatigue, patient global assessment, health-related quality of life)responded to both survey rounds
- Participants
- 104 participants
- Outcome
- Preferred (consensus) domain definition for each of six foundational domains
Methodological detailstwo-round survey, OMERACT 2023 Methodology Workshop
- Two-round survey
- OMERACT 2023 Methodology Workshop
Recommendations
As reported in the abstract
Preferred domain definitions
- Preferred definition established for each domain except patient global assessment (no agreement reached)
Further findings
- Participants at the OMERACT 2023 Methodology Workshop providing lived experience examples, used to contextualise definition reports for the five domains
