ReviewCore outcome set for peripheral regional anesthesia research: a systematic review and Delphi study.
There is heterogeneity among the outcomes used in regional anesthesia research. ⋯ We present the first core outcome set for regional anesthesia derived by international expert consensus. These are proposed not to limit the outcomes examined in future studies, but rather to serve as a minimum core set. If adopted, this may increase the relevance of outcomes being studied, reduce selective reporting bias and increase the availability and suitability of data for meta-analysis in this area.
