Uitgebreide beschrijving van gekozen uitkomstmaten.

Relevante uitkomstmaten

De gedefinieerde uitkomstmaten zijn gebaseerd op een tweetal bronnen: de uitkomstenmaten zoals deze gedefinieerd zijn in de Cochrane-review aangaande dit onderwerp en de uitkomstmaten zoals deze gedefinieerd zijn in het COPOP-project (hieronder verder toegelicht). Daarnaast zijn de uitkomstenmaten met betrekking tot vervolgzwangerschap ten behoeve van deze richtlijnmodule toegevoegd.

 

Het COPOP-project (core outcomes for studies on primary prevention of preterm birth) is opgezet om een core outcome set te definiëren om wereldwijd alle studies dezelfde uitkomstmaten te laten rapporteren. Het betreft een samenwerking tussen:
  • Global Obstetrics Network (GONet, Ongoing pessary trials)
  • Journal Editors (CROWN; core outcomes in women’s health)
  • Core Outcome Measures in Effectiveness Trials (COMET)
  • Cochrane Collaboration on preterm birth
  • World Health Organization (WHO)
  • Patient Organizations
  • Midwifery Organizations

In onderstaande tabel zijn alle uitkomstmaten samengevat uit de verschillende bronnen. In de voetnoot is te lezen uit welke bron elke uitkomst afkomstig is. Op basis van deze tabel is zijn uiteindelijk de kritieke en belangrijke uitkomstmaten vastgesteld.

De werkgroep achtte ‘offspring mortality; perinatale mortaliteit’, ‘maternal mortality; maternale mortiliteit’ en ‘disability in childhood; morbiditeit op kinderleeftijd’ (en als indirect bewijs hiervoor een 5 minuten Apgar-score <4 en navelstrengbloed pH<7.0) voor de besluitvorming kritieke uitkomstmaten; en, ‘maternal morbidity; maternale morbiditeit’, ‘uterine rupture in subsequent pregnancy; uterus ruptuur in vervolgzwangerschap’, ‘perinatal mortality in subsequent pregnancy; perinatale sterfte in vervolgzwangerschap’ en ‘maternal mortality in subsequent pregnancy; maternale sterfte in vervolgzwangerschap’ voor de besluitvorming belangrijke uitkomstmaten.
